Luminescence, the award-winning immersive project, will make its debut in Manchester this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will mark the first time a Luminescence show takes place in the UK, with the Manchester Cathedral set to be utilised for the event. The walls of the cathedral will be used for 360\u00b0 projection, live music, and narration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luminescence aims to promote and preserve global heritage sites through its immersive shows, with the organisation behind the event claiming over a million people globally have already experienced it live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which runs until 26 March, will feature legendary Manchester actor Christopher Eccleston as the narrator. Local songs, popular from the Greater Manchester area, will also be sung by the Collectives Gospel Choir. Some of these include The Verve’s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ and Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>In addition, Tim Whitnall, BAFTA-winning writer, will provide the script for the immersive experience. Each show will be of around 45 minutes in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Sarfati, who\u2019s the ceo of LOTCHI, the organisation behind Luminescence, said in a statement<\/a>: \u201cWith this new show in Manchester, LUMINISCENCE continues the same mission that has driven us from the beginning: to reveal the emotional power of heritage through an artistic, immersive and live music experience for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough light, music and narration, we hope to offer everyone a suspended, intimate, universal moment, a fresh look at monuments charged with history and memory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First started in 2023, Luminescence has held events throughout the globe in a bid to further highlight historical monuments and architecture. Some of its previous destinations include the Saint-Eustache Church in Paris, the Catedral da S\u00e9 in S\u00e3o Paulo, and the The Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parma, who\u2019s a part of the Luminescence team on ground preparing for the launch date, said she\u2019s very excited to see how it all comes together. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s a historical building. If you look at our previous projections, they\u2019re all in very similar buildings,\u201d said Parma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to see what kind of reaction we\u2019ll get because we\u2019ve planning a UK show for a while now,\u201d said Parma. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to people bringing their friends or loved ones and just be mesmerised by the light show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parma also said, depending on the footfall they receive and the overall reaction, that Luminescence could be back soon. \u201cFor sure, we\u2019d like to try different locations in different cities here,\u201d said Parma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEither Liverpool or Birmingham,\u201d answered Parma when asked where the next Luminescence could pop up. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at the (metropolitan) cathedral in Liverpool, because it\u2019s like modern but still with a very old look.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luminescence will run until 26 March. Tickets can be purchased from the official website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
