Bella Gaia: Beautiful Earth is an award-winning, immersive, live multimedia performance of projected NASA visualizations of Earth from Space, with live world music on stage. Inspired by astronauts who spoke of the life-changing power of seeing the Earth from space, award-winning director, composer, and violinist Kenji Williams, created this multimedia journey of our world in partnership with NASA. Together, they combined stunning NASA imagery of the Earth from space, data visualizations, and stirring live music performances from around the world, threaded together by an orbiting flight path from the International Space Station.
Bella Gaia is a live concert that mixes music & NASA immersive imagery that turns the stage planetary. Sublime and Transcendental.
