Inside the Perplexiplex: Denver’s Multiverse of Live Performance at Meow Wolf

From drag shows to genre-blending concerts and eco-conscious art, The Perplexiplex at Meow Wolf Denver is where live performance gets weird—in the best way.

When we set out to build the intergalactic experience of Convergence Station, we knew it wouldn’t be complete without the scenes of The Perplexiplex. When you enter one of only a handful of projection-mapped venues in the country on a regular day at Meow Wolf, you’ll be treated to four immersive scenes. Each one lasts four minutes, and the experience is designed to feel like a surreal forest where you can interact with not just your surroundings, but other travelers too. Here are just a few of our favorite things about The Perplexiplex: 

Collaboration with Moment Factory

Moment Factory creates custom experiences around the world, and helped us pioneer a new entertainment venue just for Meow Wolf. Alexandre Lupien, Creative Director at Moment Factory, wanted The Perplexiplex to be a social experience. He says, “We didn’t want people to just interact with a machine, but wanted them to interact with each other.” But don’t worry, introverts, you can totally enjoy the sights and sounds without too much people-ing if that’s your speed. 

Masterful Music

Cole Bee Wilson, Meow Wolf artist and musician, created the score for each interactive scene in The Perplexiplex. He says, “I wanted to make really earnest pieces about beauty, like how nature blows you away with its beauty.” Trust us, the music will blow you away. Wilson was discovered by Matt King, co-founder of Meow Wolf, who sadly passed away in 2022. The music of The Perplexiplex pays tribute to King’s creative vision. 

VJing Front and Center

First off, what even is VJing? In short, it’s like DJing but with pictures. Instead of that played-out pre-recorded video screen at a set, a VJ provides dynamic visuals alongside music to create a unique experience. Any time a band is playing in our space, Meow Wolf Event Production Engineer Duke Ducheneaux is live VJing. You’ll see images ranging from custom art provided by the band to enchanting forests as one-time-only visuals for every show.
