“Dazzling stars, protruding beams and projected imagery — the senses are definitely stimulated by interactive video projection that amplifies emotion and immerses the audience in the story.” — Dean Margerison, Sydney Arts Guide, 17 Feb 2014

“Visually, The Man Who Dreamt The Stars is one of the most spectacular shows I’ve ever seen… Toby Knyvett, the lighting and video designer, deserves every accolade that can be heaped on him.” — Jodi McAlister, Australian Stage, 18 Feb 2014

The Man Who Dreamt The Stars is the final version of the Star Project, developed over three years by Merrigong Theatre Company and the Illawarra Disability Trust.

The project features a mixed ensemble including performers who identify as disabled. It made use of infrared tracking technology and responsive projected environments.
