A new show about music legend David Bowie is coming to London in April.
This new immersive show, David Bowie: You're Not Alone is a 360° experience will be produced by Lightroom, as well as being written and designed by Mark Grammar of 59, who is the creative director for the V&A's David Bowie Is exhibition, along with Tom Wexler.
The show will include rarely seen and previously unseen material selected from thousands of hours of film from the David Bowie Archive in New York, ranging from ‘Space Oddity’ to ‘Heroes’ to ‘Blackstar‘.
Tickets for this show are on sale now, priced at £25 for adults and £15 for students and concessions. You can also book tickets from April 22 to June 28 on Lightroom's website, as well as more tickets being released for the summer in the near future.
This footage will include photography, drawings, personal notes, lyrics and audio recordings. It will also include a slightly awkward transatlantic TV interview with Russell Harty in 1975, and the reconstructed set of the 'Diamond Dogs' tour. The film will also be structured in thematic chapters.
It will also be projected all around the cub-shaped room, with visitors placed at the centre of live Bowie performances.
Each track which will feature at this shows will be reconfigured with Lightroom's specialised spatial audio systems to guide fans through the stellar career of David Bowie's.
“It says something about our relationship with artistic heroes that we’re drawn to mystery, otherness, the alien … In Bowie’s case, this is our construct, not his", Mark Grimmer said. “Throughout his career, Bowie repeatedly resisted being figured as anything but human. Rather than undermining his mystique, we designed a show to celebrate Bowie as a champion of human creativity – focusing on the message he expressed time and again: that art, in all its forms, is our best hope for understanding what it means to be alive".
Back in January, David Bowie's bandmates paid tribute to the late singer on the 10th anniversary of his death. Bowie passed away from cancer in January 2016. More on this from Nova here.
