sound and light
What travels waves
Sound and light refers to a style of outdoor theatrical presentation at historic sites, combining dramatic lighting, recorded narration, and music to tell the location's story.
These spectacles typically occur after dark, with colored lights illuminating architecture while speakers broadcast historical narrative: The sound and light show at the pyramids draws thousands of tourists.
The format originated in France in the 1950s as *son et lumière* and spread to monuments worldwide.
