The show covers dark matter from the Big Bang to galaxies to a deep underground experiment to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The show has sound from an Academy Award winning team at Skywalker Sound, and the English version features Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton as narrator. The show reveals the first hints of its existence through the eyes of Fritz Zwicky, the scientist who coined the term "dark matter." It describes the astral choreography witnessed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy and then plummets deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth, housed in a former gold mine. From there, it journeys across space and time to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, speeding alongside particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound, while learning how scientists around the world are collaborating to track down the constituents of dark matter.
