The Artist and The Scientist: A Collaboration of Wonder
What happens when a Grammy®-nominated instrumentalist, composer, and vocalist connects with a highly regarded NASA planetary scientist? Together, they create I AM, a one-of-a-kind show—an immersion excursion for the body and mind, exploring the distant Universe and our Solar System through awe-inspiring imagery and sound.
Musician Radhika Vekaria describes the short film, I AM, as “an open invitation to (our) hearts for an immersive odyssey.” Radhika's voice blends ancient Vedic sounds with captivating imagery of the cosmos curated by NASA's Nick Seigler. Inside Morehead's fulldome theater, I AM takes you on a voyage of curiosity, reflection, and wonder. Sit back, breathe deeply, and enjoy the experience.
Everything you're about to see and feel... is real.
