About the film
Symmetry is a dance-opera film shot inside CERN, the largest experimental particle physics facility in the world. With the cathedral-like majesty of the Large Hadron Collider as his theatre, a modern physicist searches for the smallest primordial particle and discovers a love without end. Symmetry Unravelled is an accompanying documentary about the collision of art and science in the world’s largest machine at CERN. Complementing the dance-opera film, man’s fascination with the unknown is revealed.
About the project
Filmmaker Ruben Van Leer, choreographer Lukas Timulak and soprano Claron McFadden were one of the first Guest Artists of the prestigious Arts at Cern programme.
