Danny Boyle's dance Matrix set for Manchester's £186m Factory arts venue
Director Danny Boyle is to stage a live version of The Matrix , recreating the 1999 film through " dance, music and visual effects".
Boyle is known for films like Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting, and the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
He didn't make the seminal Keanu Reeves movie, but is now turning The Matrix 's story of simulated reality into a live " large-scale immersive performance".
It will be one of the opening shows at Manchester's £186m Factory arts venue.
The Show , titled Free Your Mind, will be staged at the ambitious 7,000-capacity venue in October and November 2023.
" Spectacular visual effects, a cast of professional dancers and hundreds of Manchester participants will recreate some of The Film 's most iconic scenes, provoking visions of an alternative future, " a statement said.
Boyle, from Radcliffe in Greater Manchester , said the original Matrix movie was " an extraordinarily prophetic film and a wonderfully enjoyable film" whose warnings about The Power and possible abuses of technology were ahead of its time.
" I remember seeing The First one and, as I think was true for a lot of people, not really understanding what I was seeing, except enjoying it on a visceral level and being bewildered and intrigued on it.
" And it's not often that a film reveals itself to you over The Next 10 to 15 years, which is what's happened. "
Free Your Mind was the centrepiece of an announcement on Thursday of the opening line-up for the new venue, which has been known as The Factory - After The City 's seminal Record Label - and has now been rechristened Factory International.
It was conceived in 2014 when then-Chancellor George Osborne pledged £78m as a cultural contribution to the Northern Powerhouse.
But The Building has been beset by delays and rising budgets, and will have to prove its worth at a time when people and businesses are struggling with rising costs.
Its budget now stands at £186m, with £99m is coming from the government, £51m from Manchester City Council, £7m from the National Lottery and around £5m from private fundraising.
The Remaining £24m is still to be found through a five-year commercial fundraising strategy, which will include offering naming rights.
The Venue will provide a permanent home for the Manchester International Festival - its bosses have said it will attract 850,000 people a year to The City , create 1,500 jobs and bring in £1. 1bn to the economy over a decade.
Artistic director and chief executive John Mcgrath said The Building was " an investment in The Future of Manchester".
He Said : " It's really important that we invest in this city, that we create new jobs for people, that we create new experiences, that we create buildings like this that are going to encourage visitors from across The World to come to Manchester and be part of this amazing city and its future. "
Free Your Mind is described as a " unique cross-art collaboration of world-leading artists" and Boyle will work with designer Es Devlin , choreographer Kenrick " H2O" Sandy, composer Michael " Mikey J" Asante and writer Sabrina Mahfouz .
It will follow the opening event at Factory International next summer, which will be the " largest-ever immersive environment" by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama , who is known for her giant colourful spotty creations.
