SUMMARY:When We Went In: The D-Day Experience in Light and Sound
DESCRIPTION:It’s the immersive experience everyone is still talking about and asking to see again! \nWhen We Went In\, the National D-Day Memorial’s exclusive\, nighttime masterpiece is back by popular demand with a new prelude to honor America’s 250th anniversary! \nCreated for the National D-Day Memorial by the Institute for Creativity\, Arts\, and Technology at Virginia Tech – When We Went In is an immersive nighttime presentation that transforms the Memorial’s grounds into a stunning\, multi-media sensory experience. Using the Memorial itself as the dramatic backdrop for the narrative\, this outdoor show retells the story of the Normandy invasion through first-hand accounts of the men and women who lived through June 6\, 1944\, with authentic film footage\, archival photographs\, and wartime illustrations. The soundscape – from the roar of aircraft and gunfire to moments of solemn silence – delivered in surround-sound makes viewers feel as if they are in the throes of the historical moment and the triumph of eventual victory. The combined light-and-sound storytelling approach creates a vivid re-enactment of D-Day’s pivotal events\, aiming to educate and emotionally engage the audience with the experiences of those who were there. \nThe show’s title comes from the first line of “Omaha Beach\,” a poem by World War II veteran Peter Thomas. Thomas’s poetic account of landing at Omaha Beach acts as a thread connecting the entire narrative experience. Throughout the presentation\, the words of participants – drawn from letters\, oral histories\, and diaries – give voice to the soldiers\, sailors\, airmen\, and nurses of D-Day. Grounded in these true stories and memories\, rather than fictional dramatization\, When We Went In is as close as it gets to having lived D-Day. \nWhen We Went In exceeded attendance estimates during its first run in June 2024\, as part of the Memorial’s 80th anniversary of D-Day commemoration events. The intimate\, shared experience connected with a modern audience while conveying the hope and fear that young participants felt on D-Day. \nClick here for more information.
