About Creative Electric
Burst, by Creative Electric, is a sensory escape from the intensity of the Fringe — designed with, and for, neurodivergent families and their friends. In this 25-minute immersive experience at Red Lecture Decking, Creative Electric's bubble doctors prescribe a short stay in one of their infamous bubble beds, where audiences listen to a track over wireless headphones while bubbles slowly appear, helping anxiety float away. In collaboration with Refuweegee, Burst is available in Arabic, Farsi, Ukrainian and English, and is open to all ages from 0 upwards.
Why see this show?
A rare oasis at the Fringe — gentle, inclusive, and genuinely calming. Burst is designed with neurodivergent families in mind and runs for just 25 minutes, making it an ideal restorative pause for anyone feeling overwhelmed by festival life.
