Music - Daniel Blanco Albert // Libretto - Roxanne Korda

Mélodrame 4 - The Measurer realises that life could be possible in TRAPPIST-1, and therefore, in the whole universe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flowering Desert is a surround sound immersive experience, with a tailor-made music of the spheres, which puts the audience inside the mind of a scientist and the recently discovered TRAPPIST-1 solar system, exploring the border between fact and imagination. With live performers, stunning projections, and celestial music this will be a beautiful night with the stars.

Art and science, two different facets of the same question, finding out what we are and who we are.

The Flowering Desert is a planetarium opera, inspired by the experience of the astrophysicist Dr. Amaury Triaud in the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 solar system.

We follow the thoughts of an astrophysicist who explores the border between fact and imagination. It is a surround sound immersive experience, with a tailor made music of the spheres, which puts the audience inside the mind of a scientist and the TRAPPIST-1 solar system. With live performers, stunning projections and celestial music this will be a beautiful night with the stars.
