Worlds of Ice,
2022
360˚ fulldome show
What is ice, how does it relate to life and why is it so precious?
Worlds of Ice invites us on a journey to the farthest reaches of the solar system, travelling through the many dimensions of ice—from the territories of the Arctic to a scientific complex nestled under the South Pole. We experience it all immersed in a kaleidoscopic igloo like dome from which we emerge dazzled by the chronicles of an icy wonderland, to which Beatrice Deer, a popular Inuit singer and artist, has lent her unique voice.

Offering 35 minutes of delight, this one-of-a-kind experience explores the two-way relationship between humans and ice, a protean substance whose astonishing dynamics affect biology, astronomy, ocean sciences, anthropology, culture and artistic expression. But Worlds of Ice is also disturbing because it reveals how our disastrous human actions are responsible for the melting polar ice caps, and how close we are to the tipping point of dramatic climate change. A sobering reality indeed.
