Superluminal | Illuminate Adelaide 2024
South Australia’s Patch Theatre is renowned for creating visually spectacular interactive experiences for children.
In this World Premiere, Patch’s latest work Superluminal blends bold visual design, collaborative storytelling, and interactive play to create an engaging and enchanting installation.
As children enter Superluminal, they receive colour-changing lanterns to use throughout the installation. Guided by a performer, they journey through five interactive spaces to reveal hidden animal tracks and discover animals from the past, present, and possible future. Children create their own mythical creatures, bring them to life with recorded sounds and spectacular rainbow lighting, and capture their fantastical shadows on a magical glow wall.
A theatrical presentation full of Patch’s renowned interactive light play, Superluminal takes its inspiration from the South Australian Museum’s collections of extraordinary objects. Throughout the installation, children are encouraged to discover nature’s extraordinary creatures, systems, and beauty, and how time shapes them.
Superluminal is the perfect school holiday activity for 4 – 8 year olds and their families.
