IMAGINARIA
Check your shoes in the departure lounge and prepare to venture into another dimension.
People of all ages will be in awe in this one-hour walk through play experience with a series of custom-built interactive sculptures.
Each installation is fully interactive using sound, scent, and light to activate a response to movement as guests walk, slide and glide throughout.
There is plenty of space to explore and interact. Immerse yourself in dreamlike landscapes including a giant inflatable bubble, navigate a futuristic light maze, or jump into a cosmic abyss.
IMAGINARIA International Design Project
Founded and conceptualised by renowned Australian creative Nick Ennis and designed by a multidisciplinary team of fashion designers, architects, musicians, audio-visual artists, light projectionists, sculptors, stuntmen and circus stars, IMAGINARIA synthesises a range of eclectic influences to create a brand-new genre of entertainment for Melbourne.
Inspired by international trends including projection festivals, inflatables, virtual and augmented reality, Creative Director Nick Ennis said:
“Trends in society are often reflections of our deeper needs, desires or values. We wanted to create a play experience that elevated you out of the digital fog and snapped you into the now. A creative reminder to slow down, be still and connect.”
