The experience of tracking down and arriving at an all-night illegal warehouse party at the height of the rave scene in Coventry, 1989, is being recreated in an interactive virtual reality experience by award-winning film-maker Darren Emerson for Coventry UK City of Culture.
The project will put audiences into the shoes of rave culture pioneers, exploring environments from poster-strewn bedrooms to pirate radio stations, and police headquarters to secret warehouses.
The Midlands rave scene was one of the most important in a youth culture movement that shaped a generation. Thousands from all over the country would make the pilgrimage each week to Coventry and party in woodlands, fields and disused buildings.
