A group of strange interstellar travelers will go out beyond the galaxy to seed new planets with life. This immersive production which combines art, science and technology was made within the framework of the Immersive Animation Workshop with the Immersive Manifesto created on research stage. The plan was to design and animate a new system of characters for the Zodiac Constellations hacking gender stereotypes. Being immersive in the Solar System and out the Milky Way Galaxy where the stars are born and die like Supernovas. "Solarians" is the first planetarium film to depict the scientific discovery of the century: the gravitational waves. Space-time fluctuations produced by the collision of two black holes that merged one billion years ago.
