Held in the labyrinthine Old Vic Tunnels (if you haven't been yet do yourself a favour and visit!) VAULT will cross boundaries and invite the audience to embrace the arts in an innovative way.

Kindle Theatre’s The Furies unites theatre and live music, combining rock, metal and soul with text and poetry to retell the story of Clytemnestra – a woman betrayed - through the eyes of her band of Furies. This is the ultimate tale of envy, rage and revenge.

Silent Opera reboots La bohème as silent disco combines live opera with an incredible new recording of Puccini’s orchestral score. After their definitive Dido & Aeneas (February 2011), Silent Opera will re-energise one of the most successful and enduring operas of all time, bringing it headlong into our high-tech world. The opera takes place in an immersive environment – through personal headphones, each visitor will hear a full opera orchestra and chorus while live singers perform around them. With sponsorship from Sky Arts, Sennheiser, IdeasTap, the Royal Opera House and the Old Vic, Silent Opera promises to excite and enthuse audiences, from novice opera-goers to hardened enthusiasts.

The spectacular puppets and sets of the award-winning Pangolin’s Teatime star in The Great Puppet Horn - a cutting, satirical, shadow-puppet comedy, providing cultural critique as only cardboard on a stick can. The audience explores links between objects and characters’ memories in Broken Loops, a digitally interactive performance by Rolemop Theatre. This production relies on the interaction and involvement of audience members to influence the order and progression of the narrative, using a series of audio-visual triggers that show memories as projected video. The path of each unique performance will be determined by the audience.
