Ensonglopedia of Space

Ensonglopedia of Space is an exploration of the cosmos through song.

The show was commissioned by the Eden Project, and was performed twenty times over seven days in August 2018. For the past three years, it has been performed annually in Guildford as part of Space Week celebrations.

BACKGROUND

In Summer 2018, the Eden Project asked if he would create a half-hour compilation of space-related songs for a week-long residency in the Mediterranean Biome. The result was Ensonglopedia of Space.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The show is designed to be suitable for curious minds of all ages, and will be particularly enjoyed by young scientists from 7 upwards.

THE SHOW

This is a compilation show, featuring songs from various other shows by John Hinton, and even the odd cover. One song was written specifically for the Eden Project – a song about the challenges and opportunities of building biodomes in space and on other planets, called ‘Space In Space?’

PERFORMANCES

Ensonglopedia of Space was created for a one-off week of performances at the Eden Project, and has since been performed annually at the Tunsgate Centre in Guildford as part of their Space Week celebrations. Please get in touch if you’d like a performance of Ensonglopedia of Space at your event.
