Tintin: The Immersive Adventure at Fabrique des Lumières

Tintinimaginatio, the exclusive rights holder of Hergé's work, has joined forces with Culturespaces, a pioneer in immersive exhibitions, for this co-creation. Thanks to the combined expertise of both partners, Tintin is brought to life as his adventures are transformed from the page to digital displays.

The immersive creation showcases Tintin's entire comic book life, from the first publication of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets in 1929 to the most recent albums. All the characters from the famous series make an appearance: Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, as well as other familiar faces like Thomson and Thompson, Professor Calculus, Bianca Castafiore, and the inevitable villains.

Young and old alike will be immersed in the creative and fictional universe of one of the greatest comic book artists of the 20th century. The classic Tintin comics are projected onto the 17-meter-high walls of the Zuiveringshal, accompanied by music from artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie, and Jacques Brel. This music enhances the compelling atmosphere evoked by the Tintin comics.

Patrick Alders, director of Fabrique des Lumières, is delighted with "Tintin: The Immersive Adventure": "Tintin is a legend in the world of comics. The adventures of this globetrotter have been an integral part of global comic culture for nearly a century. It is therefore special to be able to showcase his story in a new, immersive way."

The original immersive creation was previously exhibited at Atelier des Lumières in Paris. For Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam, "Tintin: The Immersive Adventure" has been expanded with two new scenes, a European premiere. The scenes are based on two popular albums from Hergé's career: The Secret of the Unicorn and Tintin in Tibet.

Fabrique des Lumières is the largest immersive art center in the Netherlands, located in the former Western Purification Hall at Westergasterrein in Amsterdam since April 22, 2022. At the end of 2023, a remarkable milestone was reached: the center welcomed its millionth visitor! With this achievement, the digital art center proudly ranks among the top 5 most visited cultural destinations in Amsterdam. Thanks to the diversity of its exhibitions, Fabrique des Lumières attracts a wide audience of all ages.
