    It was a wonderful experience! The light show went perfectly with the music. 30 minutes was not enough for me personally, I could have enjoyed it even longer. Afterwards it was like being enchanted and in another world - really a top event!👍 Thanks for that!!!😉

    I liked it very much. Unfortunately, my partner couldn't enjoy the performance because he had problems with the loud music. Especially with the bass. He wanted to go outside. Unfortunately, the door was locked and he had to wait in the anteroom. There was no one there to open the door. At the end of the performance there was a "click" and the door opened. Unfortunately, my ear still hurts. What do you do if there is an emergency inside and nobody is there? This could cause a panic reaction.

    It was simply fantastic!🥰 The journey through time with the magnificent play of colors and the perfectly coordinated music simply swept me away and left me in awe. Choosing the Votivkirche for this artistic performance was magnificent. A huge thank you also to those responsible at the church who agreed to the project. I will definitely see it a second time if I get tickets👍👍👍

    I found the integration and use of the architecture of the Votive Church as a projection surface very impressive and daring, not only visually but also in terms of projection technology, but it was a success. The coordination of the projection with the music deserves a PERFECT. For me, however, the part about the origin of mammals felt too monotonous and therefore too long. I was most impressed by the part of the beginning of Genesis.
