ABOUT:
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Miller Outdoor Theatre is bringing the magic of BELLA GAIA: Beautiful Earth to Houston for a historic one-night-only premier program.

BELLA GAIA is an unprecedented immersive theatre experience inspired by astronauts who spoke of the life-changing power of seeing the Earth from space. Illuminating the natural and cultural beauty of the planet (BELLA) and the interconnectedness of all things on Earth (GAIA), this live concert blends stirring live music and dance from around the world, technology, and stunning NASA satellite imagery to turn the stage planetary. This historic program will also include an introduction to Origin Stories, BELLA GAIA’s new holographic 3D augmented reality theatre production. 

BELLA GAIA captures the Overview Effect*, using satellite imagery of Earth, time lapses, cultural heritage footage, NASA data visualizations, dance, and an award-winning customized musical score to present a spectacular journey around the planet that illuminates the connections between natural systems and human activities through an immersive storytelling method threaded by an orbiting flight path from the International Space Station.
