Live Theatre in a Planetarium
Like the Butterfly Effect, every small decision in Constellations leads to an entirely different outcome.
Roland, a beekeeper, and Marianne, a cosmologist, meet at a barbecue. From that moment, their story unfolds across multiple realities — where the smallest choices can create entirely different futures.
Nick Payne’s Olivier Award-winning play is tender, heartbreaking and achingly funny, exploring love, chance and the infinite possibilities of a life. Performed inside the Planetarium’s 8K, 360-degree Skydome, Constellations brings those infinite possibilities to life with the cosmos surrounding the audience.
The Venue
Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium
Brisbane’s iconic planetarium becomes a stage. The 12.5-metre Skydome surrounds you with 8K 360-degree projection mapping — constellations shift, galaxies swirl, and the multiverse unfolds around the live performance. This is not just theatre. This is total immersion.
Intimate seating — only 125 seats per performance
