The underside of a jellyfish is displayed against a black background, featuring a color gradient that ranges from blue to red.

Enter the void with cutting-edge technology and McGregor’s experimental movement.


Since the beginning of time, humankind has had a fascination with the void. From deep sea to deep space, these dark mysterious zones ignite both our imagination and our desire to explore our world to its limits.

In Deepstaria – a title inspired by an enigmatic species of jellyfish with a stellar-sounding name – Wayne McGregor conjures a highly sensory, meditative pure dance and acoustic experience which reflects on our profound relationship with the void and our own mortality.

Utilising Vantablack Vision® technology on stage to create unfathomable darkness, McGregor visions an environment that disturbs traditional hierarchies of perception. In this void, acoustic imagery and animative music by Oscar-winning sound designer Nicolas Becker and renowned music producer LEXX create a sonic dreamscape that is continuously recomposed and performed by revolutionary digital audio engine Bronze AI – thus re-configuring the relationship between live dance and live recorded music in real time.

Nine dancers float and spin, buckle and collapse, regenerate and reform, in a protean display of technical virtuosity and human fragility.
