“Bella Gaia: Cosmic World Music Immersive Theatre – A Poetic Vision of Earth from Space

Bella Gaia 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 dynamic music and exquisite dance from around the world.

This spectacular theater presentation – with full music ensemble and world-class dancers – is unlike anything you’ve see. Already performed in 9 countries with over 200 performances, Bella Gaia makes its Bay Area debut, produced by Lloyd Barde Productions.

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 to explore the relationship between humans and nature through time and space, with a ‘message of oneness amidst a deeply moving and shimmering soundscape that combines sacred dance with gorgeous sets and stunning imagery’ (Blog Talk Radio).

 
A beautiful closing meditation following the presentation will be led by Hallie Iglehart and Barbara Borden.”
