AN IMMERSIVE Van Gogh art attraction which is coming to Merseyside this summer has announced more dates.
A spectacular immersive multimedia show celebrating Vincent van Gogh’s life and stunning artworks comes to Liverpool in a UK premiere this summer.
Following the announcement of the attraction, producers have revealed they are extending its run due to “overwhelming demand” from the public.
Timed tickets went on sale last week, and demand has proved so high that a few of the show’s weekend sessions are already sold out. As a result, producers Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group have now made the decision to extend its initial two-and-a-half week run by a further 10 days.
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is set to be staged at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, from June 27 and will be open until Wednesday, July 24.
Anna Parry, UK Business Development at Annerin Productions, said: “We’re excited to announce the extension of Beyond Van Gogh in Liverpool. It’s a testament to the overwhelming demand and unwavering support from the city of Liverpool.
“This response reaffirms Liverpool's passion for art and culture, and we’re thrilled to provide this extended opportunity for residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the transformative world of Van Gogh's masterpieces.”
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience combines more than 300 of the post-Impressionist icon’s paintings with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.
His paintings are liberated from their two-dimensional realms and rendered into three-dimensional, fully immersive scenes that swirl and flow with colour and movement.
Visitors are taken on a journey through the artist’s world from darkness to light, enhanced by his own dreams, thoughts and words set to a stirring symphonic score.
Colm Graham, Head of Partnerships, Hospitality and Exhibition Sales at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, added: “We’re delighted that the public are as enthusiastic about Beyond Van Gogh as we are. The response from our community has been phenomenal with Ticket Quarter selling thousands of tickets already.
“We’re thrilled that the exhibition has been extended by a further ten days allowing so many more people to experience this exciting and dynamic event, and we’re really looking forward to working with Anna and her team to deliver the UK premiere.”
