As a part of Firelight Festival, Firelight Labyrinth is an immersive multimedia experience set beneath Marvel Stadium. This experience is a world premiere using production technology not seen before in Australia.

As you descend to the depths, the epic ancient Greek tale of Theseus and the Minotaur is reimagined through cutting-edge technology, dynamic audio, and an astonishing array of over 144,000 lights.

Lose yourself in a world of darkness and light as you explore each captivating space. Feel the pulse of the rhythm, interact with the stunning installations, and envision yourself as the heroic Theseus, bravely facing the formidable Minotaur. The longer you linger, the more facets of the story you will uncover, revealing new angles and offering a fresh perspective on the legend.

Firelight Labyrinth is located at Marvel Stadium, Docklands and is open from Friday 28 June to Sunday 14 July 2024. Please check Ticketmaster for operating times.

Tickets are available in entry timed sessions every 15 minutes. Last entry is 45 minutes before closure. All times are subject to change.

Firelight Labyrinth is suitable for a wide range of age groups to enjoy, however, please be advised that children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
