This project will screen a fulldome visual art production at the largest planetarium in the 23 wards of Tokyo. The production, AFTER CHERENKOV, explores shifts in the ideas of “life” in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster through an immersive, 360-degree fulldome dance movie that grew out of collaboration between a visual artist and dancers. With the invisible waves of radiation permeating the air with anxiety, our physical perceptions rise to new levels of sensitivity. AFTER CHERENKOV paints that reality on a canvas of domed darkness, projecting the experience in discarnate visual entities.
