‘The Sounds of Nature’ — an energizing performance to celebrate nature!

An awe-inspiring show produced solely for Expo 2020 Dubai in collaboration with Grammy-Award-winning composer Steve Sidwell, ‘The Sounds of Nature’ dazzled spectators at the Jubilee Stage as part of the Climate and Biodiversity theme week.

The 60-minute show used the power of the human voice to create a stunning soundtrack to a visual journey of discovery, reminding us how beautiful our world is. The dramatic show also featured a powerful performance from a chorus of 40 voices, embedded with SFX Choir (Human Orchestra) and audioscapes, including birdsong, rain, wind, waves, mountain springs, and erupting volcanoes.

The astonishing multi-layered soundtrack is generated and delivered entirely through the human voice and body movement, further amplified through a pre-recorded bed of additional tonal textures and subtle vocals.

No narration or dialogue had been used, yet the show made its point solely through powerful imagery and sound, bringing on stage a different way to experience and celebrate humankind’s connection to nature.

Incorporating drama and stunning visual effects, ‘The Sounds of Nature’ told its story in five segments, starting with beauty, and flora, and fauna, then moving onto the fury and power of nature, before arriving at its oneness with mankind. It also portrayed how man became the destroyer, but finished on an optimistic note by celebrating the efforts to undo the damage.
