Every summer evening at 8.30pm, 9pm, 9.30pm and 10pm something magical happens at the MPavilion. Settle in after work to enjoy a specially recorded composition of Philip Brophy's Stadium: A Neo-Tokyo Terrasound Cosmophony, as part of this year's Twilight Ritual.

What do all those words mean? Well, it's a reimagined score based on themes from the classic 1998 anime Akira. To film buffs, it'll be familiar and new at the same time, and for everyone else, it'll just be damn cool. The score is accompanied by a light show, created by designers bluebottle and is completely free. We recommend watching Akira beforehand to get the most out of it, and also because, honestly, you can never watch that film too many times.
