(IN)VISUAL Immersive Concert Cycle Launch

Immersive concert series are usually the kind of thing you hear about in Berlin, London, or at a media-art fair. But this one is happening in A Coruña — and the intere(elespanol.com)l production facility inside the Cidade das TIC, and it starts on Saturday, May 2, with a sold-out show by MAOTIK. The bigger story is that a space built for cutting-edge audiovisual production is now being used as a live cultural room too. (elespanol.com) ### What is (IN)VISUAL, exa(laopinioncoruna.es)ted together in real time, instead of music just being accompanied by a background screen. The series runs on the first four Saturdays of May — May 2, 9, 16, and 23 — and is backed by the Diputación de A Coruña. The artists named for this first edition are MAOTIK, Marta Verde & José Venditti, Estela Oliva & Ana Quiroga, and MIL111. (elespanol.com) ### Why is the venue the real hook? Because Coruña Estudio Inmersivo is not a norma(elespanol.com)uses giant LED environments, extended reality tools, and digital backdrops for audiovisual creation. One local description calls it the biggest virtual production stage in Spain. Another puts the broader facility at 2,000 square meters, with the immersive stage itself around 750 to 800 square meters. (laopinioncoruna.es) ### So what will people actually experience? Not a standard(elespanol.com)visuals designed as part of the performance itself. Organizers have framed the series as a way to explore what immersive technology can do expressively — things like generative visuals, laser-built temporary architecture, and audiovisual environments that change live with the music. (elidealgallego.com) ### Who opens the series? MAOTIK opens on Saturday, May 2, and that date is already sold out. That matt(laopinioncoruna.es)illing up suggests there is real curiosity beyond the usual specialist audience. The later dates still had some availability when local coverage ran, with entry described as free but managed through a €5 deposit refunded on arrival. (elespanol.com) ### Why keep the audience so small? The catch is immersion works better when the room doesn’t feel crowded. Ca(elidealgallego.com)This also turns the event into a kind of guided access point to a place most residents have not seen from the inside. (elidealgallego.com) ### Is this just a concert, or a showcase? It’s both. Local officials and organizers are clearly using (IN)VISUAL to show the public what the CEI can be. The studio opened in 2025 as a major tec(elespanol.com)ural platform too — a lab where art and production tech meet in public. (elespanol.com) ### Why does that matter for A Coruña? Because cities spend a lot on tech infrastructure that ordinary people never touch. Here, the pitch is different. A(elidealgallego.com)nts. If that works, (IN)VISUAL is more than four Saturdays in May — it’s a test of whether high-end production infrastructure can double as a civic arts venue. (elespanol.com) ### Bottom line This launch is really a proof-of-concept. A Coruña is opening a virtual production stage to the public through experimental live audiovisual work — and the first sign is promising, because the opener sold out before the cycle even began.
