Gold Coast 2018
As part of Wild Dreamer Production’s very first stage show, MEERA performed to a sell-out audience on stage at the Gold Coast Home of the Arts Theatre. Through a set of 2D-3D projection mapping; original costumes and music; and the help of over 300 individuals from the local community, audiences were transported to Northern India and immersed in MEERA’s world…a world rich with passion and true love.
Connecting local amateurs
Thanks to the support of local sponsors, affiliates and members of the community, Wild Dreamer Productions excelled at Gold Coast’s first start-up theatre company, harnessing the power of passion and love for the performing arts to bring to life what many thought was impossible: a sell-out theatre show
