LUME is a visual, sonic and spoken exploration of light to rekindle awe and spark curiosity about our universe.

Inside the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium, constellations shine, nebulae bloom, and the Milky Way unfurls across the dome as original soundscapes by K Mak pulse and shimmer.

Guided by narration, audiences voyage from photon to galaxy, tracing light across space and time. Part concert, part cosmic storytelling, LUME invites you to lean back, look up, and wonder.

LUME is part of World Science Festival Brisbane. Find out more here.
