Texas Premiere

Inspired by visions of the Milky Way and Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, the stars is an introspective, awe-inspiring journey into a matrix of light. Visitors move from total darkness to immersion in a theatrical constellation of 4,000 reactive points of light and an enveloping 496-channel sound design. Part meditation, part exploration, the stars, invites each visitor to explore traces of themselves in starlight, the universe, and those who have been here before us.

the stars is a non-seated, interactive performance installation. There are two ways to experience the production:

Open Universe — A self-guided visit to the immersive light and sound installation. You’ll have a scheduled entry time and can explore the space at your own pace. Like a museum or gallery, you decide how long to spend in the installation and when to exit. The Open Universe is appropriate for ages 12+.

Guided Experience — A 45-minute experience where an unseen narrator guides each visitor through their own personal journey of the precisely programmed installation. Each performance is for up to 8 people at a time. The Guided Experience is for ages 18+ only.

In both experiences, attendees stand, walk, or sit on the floor in the installation. There will be prolonged periods of absolute darkness and occasional loud noises and flashing lights.
