‘TERRA | ASTRA’
The latin title ‘TERRA | ASTRA’ is translated to ‘from land to the stars’, an incredibly poetic and tangible beginning to imagine something vivid and visceral within space. Set to an arrangement of Hans Zimmers ‘Day One’ into ‘Cornfield Chase’ by Viktor Erik Emanuel and otherworldly costume design by Sara McKenzie, this piece takes you on a cinematic journey through land and space.
