KATHARINE is an immersive audio experience,
Revealing the inner life of Katharine of Aragon
Exploring the fascinating life and legacy of Katharine of Aragon, the powerful new immersive audio experience KATHARINE will tour selected UK cathedrals this autumn alongside a programme of free library pop-up experiences.
Created by Slaget Theatre, in association with Whispered Tales, this multidisciplinary production combines binaural audio technology, contemporary dance and immersive storytelling to transform historic spaces into intimate encounters with one of history's most misunderstood queens.
Marking the 500th anniversary of the King's Great Matter, KATHARINE re-examines the story of Henry VIII’s first wife through her perspective. At a time when questions of identity, migration, power and belonging continue to shape society, the production invites audiences to reconsider a familiar Tudor narrative. Through cutting edge audio technology and site-specific staging, the stunning and historic backdrop of cathedral spaces becomes the setting for a deeply moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
