Step into a world where myth meets movement at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum as dancers transform the night sky into a living story with Egyptian Star Dance under the dome of the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium. This unique fusion of performance and storytelling, inspired by the celestial mythology of ancient Egypt, will take place on Saturday, September 6, at 6 PM, with doors opening at 5:30 PM. In ancient Egypt, dance was more than art—it was an act of cosmic balance. This immersive experience will guide audiences through the mythos of the stars, with a central performance that channels Nut, the sky goddess who arches over the earth, embodying the divine feminine and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Each set is followed by brief, engaging talks exploring the intersections of Egyptian mythology, astronomy, art, and dance, offering rich context to the celestial spectacle.
This enchanting evening also marks the final opportunity to view "Discoveries on the Nile: Exploring King Tut’s Tomb and the Amin Egyptian Collection," on display in The Republic Finance Gallery through Sunday, September 14. Presented in partnership with art collector Giovanni Amin, the exhibit features certified reproductions of artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamun. Visitors are also invited to explore LASM’s Ancient Egypt Gallery, home to a 2,300-year-old Ptolemaic-era mummy.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children, or $15 for adult members and $5 for child members, and are available now at tinyurl.com/LASMEgyptianStarDance. Don’t miss this unforgettable night of dance, myth, and cosmic wonder under the stars.
