LAST HAUS ON EARTH and DARKROOM Will Come to Brighton Dome

For Brighton Festival 60 art collective KlangHaus are presenting two unique and exclusive shows in Brighton Dome. KlangHaus: Last Haus on Earth and KlangHaus: Darkroom. Both are performing multiple times each day for the full length of the Festival making a mammoth 97 individually ticketed performances - by far the most performances by any company at the festival! The shows run at various times daily between May 2 and 23 2026.

KlangHaus: Last Haus on Earth is a totally unique, site-responsive experience where barriers between performers and audience are dismantled in an audio-visual sensual storm that deconstructs what a rock gig can be.

Part gig, part cinematic installation, KlangHaus unites the raw energy of maverick art-rock band The Neutrinos with the stunningly evocative visual language of artist and film-maker Sal Pittman. Together, they will transform Anita's Room in The Dome into a living, breathing canvas of light and sound, navigating a breathtaking spectrum from pin-drop quiet to full-on loud and back again - with occasionally all hell breaking loose!

The show is performed in a dramatically enhanced domestic setting where you are welcomed into the performers' personal space, immersed in the present, the sound, the light. The audience is invited to sit, stand, lean and move in and around the performers for a full-on sensory experience.

KlangHaus: Darkroom is an immersive, multi-sensory, intense, profoundly emotional and affecting climate-chaos wake-up call. Virtual reality for the ears and eyes.

Conceived working with climate themes in collaboration with scientists at University of East Anglia's Tyndall Centre, Darkroom was originally presented by invitation at Glasgow's COP26 International Climate Change Conference. Now the 20-minute installation for just six audience members at a time, held in complete darkness, has been updated and reimagined for Brighton Festival.

Co-devisor and singer Karen Reilly said 'Last Haus on Earth invites you on a journey from 'make-yourself-at-home', to the microcosmic metropolis, through the deep and blue and breathless, to space and stars. We welcome everyone to share our life of wall-to-wall music, light, sound and saturated colour. The shows are performed within our domestic setting, divided by film screens, projections, instruments, smoke and mirrors.

With Darkroom we are using our skills as artists to help people to think, talk and move towards an essential reimagining of the way we live. Darkroom feels like a critically important show for us.'

KlangHaus are art-rock maverick band The Neutrinos, and artist and film-maker Sal Pittman whose stunningly evocative and original films and projections cloak the entire space.

The Neutrinos release the soundtrack album for Last Haus on Earth on 1 May via Wet Nurse Records.
