Festival Theme – Esoverse

ESOTERIC 2024 - ESOVERSE

We’re proud to announce the ESO24 festival theme Esoverse.

Upon surviving the baron world, we have combined enough materials, tech & know-how to escape the Wild Wastelands…

With our shonky starship made of scraps, it’s time to fire up the warp drive and finally set course for the deep depths of the Esoverse to see what adventures our next journey into the dark uncharted cosmos holds! 

As those from the Wastelands make their miraculous escape to start their new adventure, so do we as we leave them to choose their own path and we set upon a different course to explore some of the Esoverse’s vast and endless possibilities… 

Don’t panic! The further we venture from Earth, the quicker we discover that we certainly are not alone.    Amongst the stars in infinite space we stumble across endless occupied space stations that feel more like lively space ports floating throughout the galaxy to refuel, exchange goods and recharge.  Filled with an abundance of species that are rarely human, these places are by no means perfect nor pristine.  It’s filled with opportunists and characters of all varieties hanging out here, from entrepreneurial types to intergalactic space pirates passing through from wild space.

These spaceports are just specks of what is happening in the esoverse and from our journey so far we’ll mention just 3 planets that show the vastness and contrast that’s evident across the galaxy.  An interesting fact; no matter where you go across the Esoverse you’ll find that every civilisation and species holds its own symbols, a marking if you will that resembles a way of life that we would struggle to comprehend.

Our first stop is planet Artopia, home of the Artopian species who are known for having gigantic eyes, antennae and other alien senses that allows them to distinguish over 385 million colours to express their innermost artistic skills and imagination across their world.  Did you know that their language Artian has over 15,576 dialects due to their compulsiveness to add words and sounds to their own distinctive individual take on communication, making Artian near impossible to learn for both outsiders and natives alike.  The planet itself is deeply populated with some of the most creative, detailed and colourful fauna & flora, most of which the majority of other species including humans cannot fully appreciate and more likely than not, end up experiencing sensory overload the moment they set foot or claw on Artopia…

The next stop on our short tour within the Esoverse is the super advanced civilisation of the Cassiopians from their home world Cassiopium.  This matured civilisation and planet is different in every way possible to those before it.  Boasting endless massive eco-friendly domes & skyscrapers with lush gardens throughout them,  the Cassiopians have spent millenia learning the fine art of looking after their home with the use of extremely advanced architecture, materials, technology and know-how.   Their knowledge, intelligence and wisdom have evolved to such an extent that they no longer need to work as they have perfected the art of artificial intelligence and robotics.  Whilst they may look slightly human, there are distinct features that suggest otherwise such as their abnormally shaped craniums that closely resemble that of a squircle and unusually sized 7 finger hands.

Alast, our final destination Delirios.  The native language known as Deliric is so difficult to speak that most species would need to remove their tongue and 3 toes just to pronounce even the most basic of phrases.  Delirios itself is no ordinary place, whilst dark and dingy it’s coloured throughout the entire planet with neon, uv and the sounds of explicit good times in every direction.  The Delirians embrace all species from across the galaxy to visit their homeworld since its reputation is famous for its hedonistic traits that encourage neverending indulgence, wild parties and relentless debauchery.  Whilst that all may sound like a vibe, one must remember to approach it with a slippery sense of caution since 42% of tourists either never leave or get caught up in the deep underworld who run such establishments.  Some of the things that suck tourists into staying here for years are their endless sprawls of unusual nightlife, questionable bazaars, cocktail bars that serve every beverage across the known esoverse (including the infamous pan galactic gargle blaster), underground gambling hotspots that boast thousands of the galaxy’s most popular games and many other entertainment sources that need to be seen to be believed… 

We could go on for light years detailing the mind bending nuances of the cosmos,  whether it’s those extremely strange Xenosians from Xenosia, the ultra colourful Chromaticans from Chromoatica, the euphoric and everso inclusive Egalians from Euphoria Prime to the honourable and courageous beings from Aquilonia, there are endless destinations, species and places for you to discover throughout the Esoverse!  

It is now over to you to enrich your next adventure and explore well beyond our introduction of what lies deep, it is time to enter the Esoverse…

So, what are you waiting for, you’ve got nothing to lose! 

We are all stardust…
