‘In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats’ Comes to Coventry and the Warwick Arts Centre
Ash Cowan
In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats, the electrifying communal virtual reality experience that transports you back to the heart of the UK’s Acid House movement, is now coming to Coventry and the Warwick Arts Centre, and tickets are officially on sale.
Step into the shoes of a rave-goer in 1989 and journey through the sights, sounds, and spirit of a generation that found freedom on the dancefloor. More than just a music genre, Acid House was a cultural uprising, one that turned abandoned gyms, warehouses, and underpasses into sanctuaries of sound and solidarity.
This groundbreaking experience, created by immersive artist Darren Emerson and produced by East City Films, invites audiences into a multi-sensory world where beats echo with purpose and politics. Through cutting-edge VR technology, you’ll travel through recreated scenes from one unforgettable night, guided by the voices of those who lived it.
Whether you’re reliving your youth or discovering the roots of a movement that shaped British nightlife, In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats is a powerful reminder of music’s ability to unite, disrupt, and transform.
This stop at Warwick Arts Centre is part of a wider tour made possible by the BFI and Arts Council England supporting bold, boundary-pushing art that challenges and captivates.
