Sports, entertainment & art
On Saturday 27 July, visitors will be able to experience a live presentation of UFC 304: Edwards vs. Muhammad 2 in Shared Reality. Cosm’s huge LED dome will offer fans in Los Angeles the experience of being right next to the Octagon at the fight in Manchester, UK.
Tickets for a never-before-seen Shared Reality experience of Cirque du Soleil’s aquatic classic O are available under the entertainment category. O is the most successful performance in Cirque du Soleil’s history and has played to more than 19 million people in its 25-year run. It is still a crowd favourite and can be seen live at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Cosm’s audiences will be able to see the Cirque du Soleil performance from previously unseen vantage points, while surrounded by acrobatics, artistry, and surreal sequences. Visitors will experience every sight, sound, and detail of O in the first entirely digital and immersive production from Cirque du Soleil. Showings will take place on 28 July and selected dates in August.
In addition, Cosm has announced that it will present works from acclaimed new media artists, Cosm Studios Creators Program members Nancy Baker Cahill, Ricardo Romaneiro, and Guy Reid (Planetary Collective). The artists will showcase their projects for Shared Reality and Cosm’s innovative experience technology platform.
Designed to break down the boundaries between viewer, lens, and film content, Baker-Cahill’s immersive visual narrative SEEK will have a private premiere on 18 July with ticketed showings in July and August. The visual journey explores a series of bespoke abstract landscapes, including water, sand and wind, fire, and forest, each layered with carefully camouflaged visuals and audio.
Romaneiro’s LIQUIDVERSE: Microcosm & Macrocosm audiovisual symphony sends visitors on a unique sensory journey into and beyond the universe’s beginnings that combines orchestral music with vivid liquid visuals. The experience will debut on 12 July with a private event which will include a live orchestra. This will be followed by ticketed showings during July and beyond.
Planetary Collective’s latest film Orbital, directed by Guy Reid, takes viewers on a hyper-real, animated voyage to the edge of the galaxy. Visitors are transported by dynamic visual and narrative mechanics, accompanied by authentic stories of astronauts who have experienced the wonder of looking back at Earth from space. Orbital premieres at Cosm on 17 July with a private event. Further ticketed showings are planned throughout the summer.
August will see the venue move into its standard hours and event frequency as additional programming accelerates. Cosm is set to launch ticketed events for Shared Reality presentations of US Open tennis, NCAA college football and Premier League football matches, and on-sale dates will be released soon.
Earlier this year, Cosm announced that its first venue will officially open to the public on 29 June. The venue will open with a live Shared Reality production of UFC 303, providing fans with an unparalleled all-access, Octagon-side experience.
