About Planetarium Lates: The Flowering Desert
Come and experience a planetarium opera inspired by the experiences of Birmingham based 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 celestial music putting the audience inside the mind of a scientist and the TRAPPIST-1 solar system. This is the first public screening of the opera film
