Step into a New Dimension:
Adelaide Fringe is breaking free from traditional stages, offering a unique journey through 23 immersive experiences. These include VR adventures, 360-degree films, and interactive installations, all designed to transport you to extraordinary realms. From the city to regional areas, Immersive Worlds promises an unforgettable journey.
A Journey Across Venues:
The program spans iconic locations such as Olympic House, The Mercury, Star Theatres, and Carclew. With a successful pre-season in Mount Gambier and an extended run in Whyalla, audiences are in for a treat. But here's where it gets exciting—you're not just a viewer anymore; you become an active participant in these captivating stories and digital landscapes.
Exploring the Universe:
Immersive Worlds takes you on a journey from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space. It showcases the work of international and local artists, celebrating natural marvels, cinematic narratives, and futuristic concepts. The highlight? The Full Dome experience, where audiences relax beneath a vast curved screen, witnessing stunning 360-degree films. From exploring South Australia's marine life to cosmic voyages and musical extravaganzas, this is a feast for the senses.
Virtual Reality's Magic:
VR experiences go beyond the ordinary, placing you at the center of Van Gogh's swirling paintings in Monsieur Vincent or diving into the Great Southern Reef's marine life in MEGAfauna. These virtual adventures are as educational as they are entertaining.
Surround Sync VR: The Ultimate Immersion:
This innovative technology synchronizes visuals and surround sound, ensuring you're at the heart of the action. Fly over Antarctica, travel beyond our galaxy with Professor Brian Cox, or discover Australia's Kimberley region with Luke Hemsworth. These experiences are as close to reality as it gets!
Interactive Adventures:
But wait, there's more! Interactive works let you control the narrative. Fire Escape, inspired by Hitchcock, offers a thrilling interactive film experience. The Score: The Smartphone Orchestra lets you influence a live performance by the Adelaide Youth Orchestra through a phone game.
