What is Electric Kingdom?
Electric Kingdom is an award-winning, jaw-dropping, public art experience that comprises eight large-scale, illuminated animal installations of epic proportions.
Each installation in EK has its own unique characteristics, including kinetic movements, multi-creature compositions, immersive storytelling elements, and the capability to be puppeteered and roam throughout the space. They also boast distinct lighting design and are accompanied by original soundscapes.
Audiences of all ages will be captivated as they discover the multiple immersive works, that animate, roam and engage with the crowd, tell fascinating stories of endangered wildlife and from our First Nation
peoples, while mesmerising with their striking visual and soundscape designs.
Past Success
Electric Kingdom in Melbourne spanned eight nights in September 2023 and attracted approximately 45,000 visitors who experienced A Blanck Canvas’ eight magnificent giant illuminated animal installations, world-class roving performers, and stunning lighting displays.
In March 2024 Electric Kingdom toured to Perth, Western Australia where it entertained thousands of visitors as part of Joondalup Festival over 21 nights.
Audiences enjoyed the walk-through event centred around a collection of giant, illuminated animal installations. Electric Kingdom (EK) “scales up” nature to gigantic proportions, allowing audiences to view and appreciate animals from a new perspective.
This previously sold-out, one-of-a-kind event is now available to hire nationally.
