Discover What it’s Like to be an Astronaut When BELLA GAIA Takes the Stage at Walton Arts Center |
|
|
Described as an “out of this world” experience by USA Today, BELLA GAIA comes to Walton Arts Center for one-night only Thursday, June 13 at 7 pm.
Tickets prices range from $10 to $20 plus applicable fees. Tickets can be purchased in-person at the Walton Arts Center Box Office, by calling 479.443.5600 or by visiting waltonartscenter.org.
BELLA GAIA (Beautiful Earth) is an unprecedented audio-visual experience that combines NASA satellite imagery of Earth, time-lapse nature photography and live world music and dance on stage.
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.
“BELLA GAIA transported me back into orbit, to feel the beauty and power of the Earth,” said astronaut and spacewalker John Grunsfeld.
BELLA GAIA is performing as part of Artosphere, Walton Arts Center’s Arts + Nature Festival. Visit waltonartscenter.org for more information about BELLA GAIA and the Artosphere Festival.
