Get ready for a month-long immersion of the senses at this year’s Immerse event. Starting November 5th this collection of events is said to be the future of entertainment. Hosted by Light Adelaide these events are not to be missed.
With many different events on offer here’s what you can expect:
Immersion
Grab your tickets to Immersion, a 360-degree animated experience held in Light’s new ELLISPE that is set to take you on a vivid journey through time. Discover just how water has shaped our world, from 50 million years ago when the land was covered in dense, wet rainforests to the profound significance of Adelaide’s local waterways to the Kaurna people.
This show will reveal how the same molecules of water arrived from the furthest parts of space are still connected to us today. Throughout the show, you will be able to interact with the incredible scenes. Whether you’re throwing paintballs over the city skyline, controlling schools of fish with your hands, spotlighting animals in the dark Australian bush or making ancient tropical plants come alive, you’ll definitely be immersed.
Tickets are $26 for adults and $21 for kids under 12 (+ booking fee). This event is suitable for all ages. Plus, tickets also include entry to ‘Flow State’ within your session time.
