Womb of Stars



We debuted our first live cinema piece ‘Womb of Stars v1.0‘ in Fall 2024 at the Center for Enlightenment Arts in Brooklyn, New York.
A journey of the starseed soul from Earth back into the womb of stars, through challenges and courages required of letting go.

At the precipice between the beginning and the end, where can we find the collective spirit?

Humans have been guided by stars and celestial events as observers standing on Earth. Across different civilizations and cultures, the stars have historically provided a way for us to look into both the past and future. Life emerges from and return to the carnal and cosmic womb. On the world’s stage, we look within to reveal our destinies and find our constellations in the collective oneness that brings us a universal sense of belonging.

We are meditating on these concepts as we develop our experimental live cinema performance ‘Womb of Stars’

As we created this entire show from concept to performance in a single week, we have a lot more we want to develop!

In our next iteration, we plan to achieve the following:  

1. consolidate all the worlds into one continuous series of environments in Unreal Engine.
2. make the performance real-time controlled in Unreal Engine.
3. develop the narrative further by clarifying the characters’ dialogues and presence.
4. play with temperatures, haptics, and motion to be integrated into Unreal Engine.
5. develop spatial audio and soundscape.
