Espace pour la vie invites the whole family to set out on an adventure at the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan. Quest for New Skies is an immersive show in which spectators become spaceship captains and choose which exoplanets to visit.

This original Planétarium production not only reveals interesting facts about habitable planets, such as what makes life possible, but also heightens the experience through continuous interaction with the audience. This adventure, in which everyone watching is the hero or heroine of the story, allows the audience to influence the course of the journey—their votes will determine which planets to visit.

The 360° dome projection offers spectators a rich, immersive experience that is sure to fuel family discussions and maybe even spark a new passion for the stars!
