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.
