Showing at the Nelson Mandela Theatre at Joburg Theatre from 11 to 15 June 2026, Dark Matter continues Universe on Stage’s bold fusion of science, live performance, music and visual storytelling.
This new production invites audiences into one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, asking what lies beyond what we can see, measure and understand.
Johannesburg, South Africa – Following a series of sold-out performances and growing critical recognition, Universe on Stage returns with its most conceptually ambitious work to date. Dark Matter opens this season as a new production that moves beyond scientific storytelling into something more introspective, examining not just the universe itself, but how we respond when our understanding of it begins to fracture.
Founded by South African physicist Dr Luca Pontiggia and actuary, pianist and composer Yasheen Modi, Universe on Stage has established itself as a distinctive live format, bringing together orchestral composition, contemporary performance and scientific thought into a single, immersive experience. With Dark Matter, the platform enters a new phase, one that shifts the focus from explaining the cosmos to interrogating our relationship with the unknown.
