A 90 minute character driven full CG cinematic 'Neo Space Opera' in 12k resolution enjoyed and celebrated each night by a crowd of 20.000 fans inside Sphere, the most advanced immersive venue on the planet.

From the start, we were focused on constructing a song-based, filmic language of key moments and symbols which would resonate with the audience and seamlessly propel the story forward. ODYSSEY allowed us to conceptualise the show as a cinematic live experience, which we fused with the energy of the dance floor. This project, which was brought to life in collaboration with Sphere Studios’ team of production experts and technologists, solidifies our understanding that the union of interdisciplinary art forms like film, visuals, and music will be where live entertainment evolves
