Fringe shows can have such variety in performance, but most involve taking a seat and looking at a performing space in front of you. Not so with this experience at Adelaide Fringe, which returns after last year’s sell-out shows with new stories. This venue is a large tent-like structure, entered through a gap in the wall, to sit (or rather lie) on one of tens of bean bags, looking up to the dome above them. Projected to this dome are immersive stories, from undersea life in a reef to a video experience accompanying the music of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

The ’Earth Above’ experience tells four ancient stories from around Australia in immersive photography and CGI, beautifully created by Deakin MotionLab in close collaboration with First Nations communities.

It’s a wonderful exploration of sacred lands looking back over thousands of years, and the immersive nature of the sound and vision transports you to these places and times for thirty minutes.
