This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2025 season. This season is now over.

Cello is exploding in pink and maroon outer space.
Purple, pink, green and blue gridlines measure out the domed ceiling of the planetarium above a crowd.  In the centre, four musicians sit, dimly lit by the glow of the iPads they are reading from.

K Mak at the Planetarium

Following sell-out seasons in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide 2023, K Mak returns her arresting show to the Adelaide Planetarium.
Weaving cello, violin, synths, beats and vocals into stirring, cinematic soundscapes, her four-piece band ushers you through the cosmos with sumptuous tailored visuals.
Audience reviews:
   “I had an outer body experience at K Mak”
   “Truly immersive and cathartic” 
   “It was really good except it made Mum cry”  
   “We’ve travelled the world and never experienced anything like it”
   “I’d go again in a heartbeat”

Nestled in UniSA’s Mawson Lakes campus, the Adelaide Planetarium couples 8m high ceilings and full-dome video projections with K Mak’s stirring live music.

K MAK is the originals project of Australian cellist Kathryn McKee - a distillation of classical, alternative and electro-pop music. She draws on her experience playing with Kanye West, Eminem, Archie Roach, Guy Sebastian, Vera Blue, Angel Strings and Opera Queensland to weave strings, beats, synths and vocals into vivid, emotive artpop.

Her works have been nominated for a Q Song Award, the International Songwriting Competition and an Independent Music Award, and have been played on community radio stations world wide, ABC Classic fm and on KEXP.
K Mak has played Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Woodford, and at a Tedx Youth Forum.

She has somehow also featured in the latest Supercheap auto ad, in Baz Lurhmann’s ‘Elvis’, and in Dubai fashion magazine ‘Mojeh’.
