In collaboration with the festival, The Stage is proud to unveil a brand-new piece by renowned London-based artist Sophie Mess titled ‘Together We Rise’.  

 Celebrated for her energetic, nature-inspired artwork, Sophie has transformed a concrete lift shaft at The Stage into a vibrant masterpiece that contrasts delicate floral motifs with the city's urban landscape. "My work is about reconnecting with nature in urban spaces. This piece, on a lift shaft, symbolises how we rise together." 

 Sophie painted the piece at The Stage from the 3rd – 10th of September, providing visitors during that time the chance to see the mural come to life and burst into colour.
