Let's Launch a Cultural Evolution in Space, Together.
Your Free-Floating Team
Our Team unites exceptional talents in performance, choreography, cinematography, technology, design and space, collectively drawing on experience from Cirque du Soleil, Discovery Channel and NASA.
Sponsor The First multimedia performance in microgravity
Our first performance "Paraboles" scheduled in Fall this year, with MIT Space Exploration Initiative, will take place aboard the Zero-G parabolic aircraft, and involve a team of five: two videographers and three performers, captured in real-time within a dedicated green-screen, free-floating zone over the span of 25 parabolas — each producing 22 seconds of microgravity.
The weightless production will materialize through the delicate interplay of live performance and post production techniques; And explore the poetic tension between holding on and letting go. An ode to rising upwards, into the unknown.
The final rendition will take the form of an art film, a documentary, an immersive weightless installation (and lots of valuable data too).

We believe in a future
We believe in a future where the Performing Arts flourish alongside the space industry while benefiting science.
The New Space economy is expanding, with private and public stakeholders across a variety of sub-sectors. Artists must be part of this historical evolution.
We are not abandoning the earth. We are not resigning from our responsibilities as good stewards of this planet. We are infusing a vital element to a rapidly-growing industry that will fare humanity beyond.
And isn’t that an idea worth doing?
