Cosmogenesis: The Story of Us® is an immersive, fulldome, multimedia, live stage production that explores belonging, identity, and personal transformation within the context of the 13.8-billion-year story of the Universe and Earth. Designed as a 142-minute hybrid of live theatre and immersive cinema, the work offers social and intellectual tools that invite audiences - particularly students - into empathy, perspective-taking, and meaningful engagement across difference.

The narrative follows Lotus, a college student navigating grief, identity, and questions of belonging, as she moves from despair toward self-determination and agency. Through her journey, Cosmogenesis addresses mental health, creativity, and the role of community in shaping resilience and purpose.

Blending traditional stage performance with fulldome cinema, aerial dance, virtual reality elements, and an original musical score, the production brings multiple storytelling modalities into conversation - creating a transformative, participatory experience. The work invites audiences to reimagine belonging at personal, social, and planetary scales, while engaging in thoughtful dialogue around care, responsibility, and flourishing stewardship.

Cosmogenesis: The Story of Us® premiered at the Versant Power Astronomy Center & Maynard Planetarium at the University of Maine, Orono, in collaboration with True North Theatre, November 7–15, 2025. The project received its first laurel for Best 360 Film at the Swedish International Film Festival (December 2025) and is currently positioned for planetary and international presentation.
