Inspire Resort Media Show "Cosmic Odyssey"

2024

Overview

For three minutes, the audience follows a journey through the solar system and a wormhole to an unknown planet, "The Aurora Planet." Cosmic Odyssey is the Season 2 media show on Aurora Street at Inspire Entertainment Resort, conceived as "an epic voyage drifting through vast and beautiful space toward an unknown planet." Where Season 1, Under the Blueland, told the story of a sea voyage, Season 2 takes the journey into space. Apollon Immersive Works again planned the show as a story with a clear beginning, build, climax, and resolution, adding an orchestral score to a science fiction narrative that links realistic space with fantasy landscapes to convey the vast scale of the universe.

Synopsis

Explorers board a spaceship to travel the vastness of space. As they drift through the solar system, they are suddenly pulled into a wormhole. At faster-than-light speed, they arrive at an unknown planet many light-years from Earth: "The Aurora Planet." There, they gaze upon surreal landscapes and the "Creature of Wonder" gliding freely across a violet sky.

Visitors point up at the curve of Earth and the Moon across the Aurora Street ceiling, with a space probe passing a cratered moon on the LED column to the right
Visitors walk beneath a swirling galaxy and a ringed planet on the Aurora Street ceiling, with nebulae and planets drifting across the LED columns on both sides

Pre-Production

In pre-production, the aim was to create another signature show for Inspire, with the focus on a story structure that carries the flow of a performance and on bringing space to life visually. The first half, "Vast Starscape," is a realistic space sequence that uses the full media scale of Aurora to present Earth and a series of planets. In the second half, "Uncharted Planet," an unknown planet and a giant fantasy creature were newly designed.

On the Aurora Street ceiling and LED columns, Earth and the Moon give way to a ringed planet and asteroid belt, a nebula and a wormhole, arriving at Aurora Planet, where a phoenix-like creature soars above pink rock formations
Scene concept design. From the realistic space of "Vast Starscape" to the fantasy planet of "Uncharted Planet," the journey through the solar system and a wormhole to an unknown planet was first set scene by scene.

Production

Building on the understanding of the space and media gained through repeated in-house and on-site testing in Season 1, Apollon ran on-site tests at regular stages from the start of production in Season 2, carrying out creative direction on the artwork step by step. The ceiling and columns of Aurora were used as a single canvas to shape the flow of the story and the visuals.
