A Star Adventure for Young Explorers in Augsburg

With Polaris 2: Lucia and the Secret of the Shooting Stars, the S-Planetarium Augsburg opens a gateway to a poetic journey through space on June 5, 2026. The stage experience combines knowledge transfer, imagination, and the unique theatrical atmosphere of the planetarium dome into a performance for children aged 7 and up.

When Science Turns into Wonder

James and Vladimir once again set off in their space submarine Polaris, get hit by a meteorite, and find themselves in the jungle. There they meet Lucia, a hummingbird, who tells the legend of the stones of light. From this narrative grows a dramaturgically fine adventure that opens the view on meteorites and shooting stars and captivates the audience's curiosity from the very first minute.

A Staging Between Dome, Sound, and Cosmic Vastness

The S-Planetarium relies on an immersive 360° projection that places the viewer right in the middle of the action. Dome-filling images, lively texts, and music create a dense acoustic environment and an impressive stage design of light and movement. The public performance typically lasts 60 to 70 minutes and combines a live-moderated part with the announced planetarium film.

Dramaturgy with Child-Friendly Precision

The narrative follows a clear dramatic line: from the accident to the encounter with Lucia, to the journey to the moon, into the asteroid belt, and to a comet core. This sequence makes the piece an ideal theater and educational experience for families. The audience reaction is likely to oscillate between concentrated wonder and quiet enthusiasm as questions about shooting stars suddenly become small insights.

A Venue with a Special Atmosphere

The S-Planetarium Augsburg is located in the Natural History Museum, with the visitor entrance at Ludwigstraße 14 at the corner of Grottenau. The facility is accessible and features two wheelchair spaces; early ticket purchase is recommended. Jackets and bags should be placed in the wardrobe, and food and drinks are to remain outside—fully serving an undisturbed stage experience under the dome.

Conclusion: A Family-Friendly Trip into the Universe

Those looking for a smart, sensory, and visually strong children's event in Augsburg will find in Polaris 2: Lucia and the Secret of the Shooting Stars an invitation to wonder. This performance brings science and imagination into a rarely so harmonious balance. On June 5, 2026, the planetarium will transform into a star stage—a visit is worthwhile live and on-site.
