If Neil deGrasse Tyson's version of "Cosmos" hasn't convinced you of the beautiful drama hidden within the scientific community, perhaps this dance opera -- filmed inside CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland -- will twist your arm in the right direction.
The gorgeous film project, titled "Symmetry," combines the best parts of opera and dance with the titillating rigor of digital art and physics to create a visual narrative that explores the philosophical elements of the giant particle accelerator. The Creator's Project premiered the trailer for the epic film, which will be screened at the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam on March 14 during the Cinedans film festival (a festival dedicated to dance on film) as well as the NewScientist CERN festival. Take a peak at the beautiful teaser below:

The first challenge van Leer faced was crafting a film script around dance, because he could find no precedents from his research. He met with choreographer Lukas Timulak, a former dancer for the Netherlands Dance Theater, and together they hammered out a story that would involve an inaugural dance performance inside CERN. Played by Timulak, the main character Lukas is a scientist/dancer who, when struck by an inner voice, played by soprano singer Claron McFadden, is suddenly thrown off balance from his rational studies. On a quest for a unifying theory, he is transported by McFadden’s voice into an alternate dimension, a “landscape of endless possibilities,” where she teaches him about the timelessness of dance, music, and love.

Goofy lookin’!
It’s fruity.
In the way that only Euros can be fruity.
Just, wow!
If you’re going to have a video of dancers at CERN, they should be pole dancers.
“Renew!”
*POLE* Dancers!
Ping to #10.
(I hit the wrong post responding.)
Actually I should have said monopole dancers, but was too lazy to fix it. I like your post though.
