Dark is a fascinating fulldome film that dives into the mysterious world of dark matter—y'know, that elusive 80% of the universe that's just been playing hide and seek since, well, forever. Think of it as the ultimate cosmic puzzle: figuring out why the universe is shaped like it is, where it all kicked off from, and how it's managed to pull off its grand makeover over billions of years. In the grand timeline of the cosmos, a human life spans just a flicker, but in that blink of an eye, we can try to wrap our heads around the vastness of it all. And let's face it, pondering the universe's secrets while having a cuppa isn't half bad.

Dr. Alan Duffy, our guide on this interstellar adventure and a brilliant astronomer from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, is here to share some cosmic wisdom. He's the kind of guy who simulates dark matter evolution using supercomputers—not your average Friday night project. So grab your popcorn (or maybe a sausage roll), settle in, and prepare to have your mind bent by the wonders of what lurks beyond our everyday sights. As for tickets, they're a steal: adults can join the fun for $9.62, while kids can tag along for just $7.51.
