2017~ 28 min 45 secInteractive: Dome Projection

By: Philippe Baylaucq

Production: René Chénier

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with Montreal Space for Life and the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium.

Launched at Montreal Space for Life's Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium in May 2017 and seen by more than 100,000 viewers, Kyma transports audiences into a 360-degree allegorical tale of how our universe—and everyone in it—is composed of waves. Exploring everything from music to light, from the smallest particle to vast galaxies, Kyma is a voyage through the wavelength of life, a stunning and immersive show that combines the skills of artists, musicians and acrobats.
