SUMMARY:Cosmogenesis: The Story of Us
DESCRIPTION:Lotus\, a 19-year-old dance student on a quest for meaning\, struggles as she witnesses\nthe world around her falling apart.  On the brink of giving up on college\, she meets a\nmentor who introduces her to the 13.8 billion year scientific story of the Cosmos.\nLotus discovers a unique capacity to see back in time prompting her to contemplate her\nplace in the Universe. While Lotus’ philosophy poet peer-group cracks the code on\nevery current issue concerning humanity\, Lotus feels the call of a reoccurring dream she\nhas of a dark-haired woman galloping on horseback under the Milky Way.\nCreated as a collaboration between University of Colorado Boulder’s Fiske Planetarium\nand Colorado University’s Theater & Dance Department\, together with a local playwright\nRebecca Sophia Strong\, and local musicians it is a cultural program that integrates\ntraditional stage theater with digital planetarium imagery.\nThis artist driven project inextricably links the arts\, science and technology and is a\nresponse to the growing sense of globalized anxiety in young adults due to racism\,\nclimate change and a lack of a sense of belonging – we aim to inspire hope and agency\nin young people.\nPerformed in at the Versant Power Astronomy Center’s Jordan Planetarium by True\nNorth Theatre on November 7\, 8\, 14 &; 15. Special School show booking available on\nNovember 12 – contact the planetarium for details. \nTickets are $20 each. Tickets may be purchased online\, by phone at (207) 581-1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show. \nClick here to view our calendar.
