If you’ve been to a big city in the past few years, chances are you’ve gone to an immersive Van Gogh experience, or at least seen massive advertisements for one. Now the BBC and David Attenborough plan to do the same thing for our planet. BBC Earth Experience will introduce viewers to parts of their home planet they’ve probably never seen before.

The immersive experience will include video, music and extensive footage from the BBC natural history series “Seven Worlds, One Planet”. The seven worlds refer to the earth’s seven continents, all of which will be represented in the event. Attenborough, who is credited with pioneering natural history documentaries, will narrate.

Billed as a “360-degree audiovisual journey,” viewers will see everything from tiny creatures like fireflies lighting up a North American night to the darling, cuddly monkeys of central China huddling together for warmth. We’re also promised “starving hamsters fighting to keep their food in Europe,” according to the press release.

Which might make you wonder that with all that spectacular footage at hand, we’d be watching hamsters fight over food. But I guess it goes to show that what’s one person’s cutting room floor liner is another’s exotic edge-of-the-seat stuff.
The experience opens in March 2023 at London’s Daikin Centre. BBC Studios, Moon Eye Productions and Live Nation have collaborated to create the BBC Earth Experience.
“At Moon Eye Productions, our goal is to create new experiences that leave guests ‘moon-eyed’ in wonder,” said Moon Eye’s Chief Creative Officer, Frederik van Alkemade. “Using the best natural history series in the world, courtesy of BBC Studios, we knew we could create our first immersive event to achieve our aim. Working with the BBC Studios team to transform the content into a 360-degree audiovisual spectacle and Sir David Attenborough to narrate has been a privilege and we are proud to present BBC Earth Experience.
Tickets go on sale on December 2 and the show runs until July 2023.
