“Lost in Space” is a Sci-Fi Bio-Mystery from the Space Race (1963). Tethered by the symphonics of a chamber orchestra and spoken wordartistry , interlaced with crafted beats, we gather around to take a journey with Ludmila (a Lost Cosmonaut), beyond the reach of Earth into outer space.
Isolated. Weightless. A celestial starscape expanding while the Earthship dwindles below, Ludmila ascends beyond the struggles of humanity. From above, she witnesses Earth’s magnificent ecosystem glowing in simultaneous day and night. Shimmering aurora borealis. Dust drifting from Africa to South America. No borders - just a remote source of Life, suspended in the Heavens. A separate reality from the violence, poverty, injustice, and pollution seen up close.
A transient being reveals that our species must first cross the great divide of our own illusions of limitations and barriers. Our existence depends on our ability to transcend.
All ages are welcome!
