The Moonwalkers is the latest experience at the Lightroom, a performance space in the heart of London’s King’s Cross, following the David Hockney show, ‘Bigger and Closer’ (not smaller and further away).
Recreating the awe and majesty of space travel for The Moonwalkers takes a special team of creatives with some excellent technology at their fingertips.

You can watch that interview and learn more about the experience in the video below.
