‘Matrix’ is little less than an untouchable film, to the point that surely no one would think of making a remake for the big screen. However, what it is going to have is a new musical version by the hand of Danny Boyle which promises to be an unforgettable show that will combine dances, hip hop songs and visual effects.
All the details of ‘Free Your Mind’
Boyle’s goal is to make a “Large-Scale Immersive Performance” and it will be one of the opening shows of TheFactory, a cultural space that is still currently being built in the English city of Manchester. Their performances are expected to take place from October 18, 2023 to November 5 of the same year.
The show in question will be titled ‘Free Your Mind’ and will feature “espectacular visual effects, a cast of professional dancers and hundreds of participants from Manchester who will recreate some of the most iconic scenes from the film“.
A particularly eye-catching look of the announcement of ‘Free Your Mind’ is that the production of it “it will spread through the ultra-flexible spaces of the building, responding to them and harnessing the collective energy of the moment” .Sounds like a show worth seeing with your own eyes.
For his part, Boyle has highlighted that ‘The Matrix’ is “an extraordinarily prophetic film and a wonderfully enjoyable film“. Let’s hope he knows how to reproduce that in ‘Free Your Mind’ and get this curious adaptation to have some own voice.
