Detail:
BELLA GAIA (Beautiful Earth) is an unprecedented audiovisual experience that combines NASA satellite imagery of Earth, time lapse nature photography, and cultural heritage footage with stirring live performances of music and dance from around the world.
On this special event on April 17th, former astronaut and leader of 100 Year Starship Mae Jemison joins the journey with BELLA GAIA, guiding the audience with the inspirational words of her own, as well as words of other astronauts and their profound realizations from space.
Inspired by astronauts who spoke of the life changing power of seeing the Earth from space, director-composer Kenji Williams’ award winning BELLA GAIA successfully simulates the Overview Effect from space flight, by using NASA supercomputer data-visualizations with an “iridescent landscape of gossamer melodies and labyrinthine rhythms” (Nooga.com) to explore the relationship between humans and nature through time and space.
BELLA GAIA is "A stunning work of multimedia entertainment" (Phoenix New Times) with “haunting classical/world fusion music ... creating a mesmerizing spectacle that should not be missed” (Jennifer Schwab, Huffington Post)
