WORLDS™ presents:
THE GIANT SCREEN CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE
NOW SHOWING IN THE Kentucky Science Center- 4 Story Digital Theater
Mesmerica XL is a reimagining of our planetarium show for the giant screen!
Out of the dome and into a giant-screen cinema — be one of the first to experience the world of Mesmerica in a whole new way with Mesmerica XL!
A unique symphony of mesmerizing music and hypnotic 3D-animated visuals, Mesmerica was created as an artistic collaboration between Grammy-nominated musician James Hood and a global community of artists.
This epic experience has been designed to transcend time, relax the mind, and stimulate your senses, and now is bigger than ever in this new XL giant-screen presentation.
“I want 'Mesmerica' to inspire you into taking a journey with me inside the mind, to engage your senses and feelings with a miraculous alchemy of sound and light!”
- James Hood, Show Creator

James Hood is renowned as a vital and versatile musical pioneer - especially with his work on the PanART hang, a uniquely mesmeric melodic instrument, and for his collaborations with international animation artists.
His lengthy and varied musical resumé includes playing drums in The Pretenders, an ongoing two-decades-plus run as the mastermind of visionary ambient/electronica act Moodswings, and an expansive array of production and soundtrack projects.
Mesmerica XL is a brand-new giant-screen experience from the visionary mind of James Hood.
Designed to relieve stress, unwind the mind, and provide a deep sense of relaxation, Mesmerica XL invites pause from the noise of our busy lives to float away into enticing worlds of the imagination on a grand new scale.
So leave your troubles at the door and embark on a gorgeous family-friendly (ages 6+) journey into the power of your mind.

Is the show suitable for guests who are prone to seizures or motion sickness?
There are no strobe lights used in the production but there are some fast image and light transitions, so we would advise caution for those who suffer from seizures. Equally, while the vast majority of our patrons have an amazing time with no issues, a small minority who are very susceptible to motion sickness find immersive entertainment slightly uncomfortable, so we would advise caution if you fall into this camp.
Is the show suitable for autistic people?
We have found that autistic people LOVE our shows! Please note the venue is dark and there is surround sound. We advise sitting at the end of a row if you think a quick exit might be required. Our on-site staff will assist if you alert them at check-in.
We are committed to following state and federal guidelines.
Should any precautions be required for a particular show, you will receive an email confirming the policies in place for the show you are attending.
If you are not comfortable with these our customer service team will gladly assist you in moving your tickets to a later showing.
