Double Feature: Bella Gaia / Solar Superstorms
Event Information
Bella Gaia
"Bella Gaia" is a globally recognized immersive experience created by award winning director, composer, and violinist Kenji Williams.
Amazing imagery of the Earth from space, data visualizations, and stirring live performances of music and dance from around the world are threaded by an orbiting flight path and stunning NASA imagery from the International Space Station. Described as a silk road experience expanded to a global scale, the award winning "Bella Gaia" tells a cosmic story, exploring both human and natural expressions of the living universe, illuminating the relationship between human civilization and nature as we enter the Anthropogenic Age.
Inspired by astronauts who spoke of the life changing power of seeing the Earth from space. This moving celebration of our cultural heritage leaves audiences with a transformative sense of wonder and inspiration seeing the Earth as a multifaceted, yet cohesive working organism.

Solar Superstorms
Solar Superstorms narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun's rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system, coronal mass ejections. Audiences will witness a fury building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What's driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.
