AQUA—A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF WATER - Exhibition now closed

The AQUA experience - Exhibition now closed

A multisensory adventure

True to the spirit of Cirque du Soleil’s thrilling creations, AQUA is a multisensory adventure for the whole family.

Massive 360° projections, interactive digital screens, music and visual effects draw you into the experience and tell the story of water. 

Carry your own water drop and interact with the digital screens - with a wave of a hand, you can create a stormy sea! 

Make a difference

AQUA is a visual spectacle, with a powerful message. It reminds us that water is a vital resource for our planet. It inspires us to protect our oceans and fresh water supplies from contamination.

Here in New Zealand, we take our fresh tap water for granted, but others are not so lucky. AQUA transports you around the globe to places where water is in short supply or seriously polluted.
