Girmit’s Premiere at the Immersive Vision Theatre: A Journey Through Heritage and Creativity

Our groundbreaking project Girmit made its much-anticipated premiere on December 4, 2024, at the Immersive Vision Theatre, University of Plymouth. For the first time in the South West, Girmit was presented in a planetarium setting, a unique fusion of technical innovation, heritage, and creativity.

This immersive, 360-degree experience transports audiences into the heart of a vibrant narrative, blending storytelling with cutting-edge visual and sound design.

Girmit explores themes of culture, identity, and connection, rooted in both contemporary art and historical contexts. It is a testament to the power of collaboration, with MA Experience Design, The Bridge, and the University’s School of Art, Design and Architecture coming together to create a truly extraordinary experience.

“Watching Gimrit in the planetarium was an intriguing experience. The way the visuals and sound seamlessly integrated with the space itself added a new layer of depth to the story—it’s a great example of how technology can enhance storytelling.” – Emma, MA Experience Design student.

The evening also featured live performances, cybernetic installations, and talks, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst and the cosmic connection between art and technology.
