What led an unassuming churchman to overthrow thousands of years of science and astronomy in one single act?

Set amongst the spectacular 180degrees star-filled skies of the Melbourne Planetarium's SkyDome, Copernicus is a solo physical theatre piece by Melbourne artist Sam Davison, taking audiences on a dreamlike voyage inside the mind of the brilliant, yet shy, Polish renaissance astronomer.

Copernicus is a truly immersive sensory experience, complimented by the raised stage of the Planetarium, reclining 45 degree angled seats, multimedia, special effects and richly layered surround sound.

With 2009 being the International Year of Astronomy, it's time to shine a light on the life of Copernicus and get inside his head!
