Constantine, an advanced android indistinguishable from humans, and his partner, Nora, a genetically-modified human, set sail on a sea of stars in "The Aurora Project" by Bella Poynton.
When Nora contracts a deadly virus, Constantine takes extreme measures to preserve her life. He places Nora in cryofreeze until they can find a civilization advanced enough to find a cure for her illness. How long could that possibly take? A few years? A hundred? Almost ten million?
This tragic story explores love, autonomy, loss and light in an impactful 100 minutes. Brought to you by A Quantum Dream, Missoula's own science-fiction theatre company. Not recommended for children under 14.
