The Melbourne Planetarium is housed within Scienceworks, a part of the Melbourne Museum.
The Planetarium is a 150 recliner-seat theatre featuring a 180¼ visual dome. For Escape From Andraxus, multiple banks of slides create visual panoramas and overhead vistas within which are projected video footage.
Immersive multi-channel surround audio combines with the expanded visual to create a stylized heightened sensory experience.
The Melbourne Plantarium produces 3-4 shows per year, each running for around 45 minutes. 4 different shows are programmed throughout each day, each show aimed at a target age group.
Escape From Andraxus is for late-teens and tells the story of Rojil whose planet is destroyed. He must find a planet and solar system similar to his own - which leads him to our Earth.
The score suite from Escape From Andraxus is included on The Planets CD, released on Sound Punch Records.
