The spirit of late pop and rock icon David Bowie is set to return to Berlin, the city he called home in the mid-1970s, as the Berlin Film Festival announces the world premiere of U.S. documentarian Brett Morgen’s immersive concert experience, "David Bowie Stage." This event will take place during the festival's 77th edition at the Uber Arena, which has a capacity of 17,000 attendees.
Scheduled for February 14, the immersive experience represents a unique addition to the festival’s programming, which traditionally focuses on film. "Stage" will combine previously unseen concert footage of Bowie with an immersive sound and light experience, offering fans a novel way to engage with the artist's legacy.S2
