THE EXOPLANETS – a curious directive and City of London Sinfonia co-production is an extraordinary blend of theatre, live orchestral performance, and planetarium experience.

Audrey is in hospital.
An orchestra watches her, and waits.
As her mind wanders back and forth in time, THE EXOPLANETS come to life.
A story about parenthood, creativity and scientific progress.
Standing on the shoulders of Gustav Holst, the music of THE EXOPLANETS is a new kind of orchestral suite, created by a super-group of composers from around the world including Theo Whitworth, Anibal Vidal, Robin Haigh, Blasio Kavuma, Samantha Fernando, Zhenyan Li & Pauchi Sasaki. A first glimpse at the strange and wild planets beyond our solar system, THE EXOPLANETS is a human story of everyday life, mapped onto the cosmos.
A curious directive and City of London Sinfonia co-production, in association with Norwich Theatre and Norfolk and Suffolk Music Hub inspired by the Conceptual Image Laboratory (NASA) and funded by Arts Council England.
Created by Jack Lowe, artistic director of Norwich-based, curious directive, THE EXOPLANETS is a rare performance collaboration between a multi-award-winning theatre company and an innovative and world-class orchestra.
