For venues, festivals, planetariums, museums and producers
Bring Biópera
to your venue
19 performances in Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico, in theatres, in a fulldome planetarium and in a cenote, and every one that had tickets or reservations sold out. The work brings arts audiences and science and technology audiences into the same room, and adapts to the space that hosts it.
A work that adapts to the space
The work adapts to the space that hosts it and intervenes in it: it has been presented in theatres, in a planetarium dome and on the stone wall of a cenote, with 3D glasses or with silent headphones depending on what the place allows. Each space calls for an adaptation of the visuals, and in each one the work finds a new form.
Five formats

What the venues say
“We programmed four performances and added two more because of demand. Tickets for all six performances sold out within a few hours.”
“I recommend Biópera to colleagues who are looking to expand their venues' programming towards the intersection of art, science and technology.”

Three booking models
- Percentage co-production. The usual model: the venue provides the room, technical support and promotion, and the box office is split.
- Fixed fee. Festivals, private events, municipalities, corporate events.
- Self-production. Biópera rents the venue and sets up ticketing and promotion. Exceptional.
