Clarke, the documentary feature For All Mankind, the theatrical work of Italian director Romeo Castellucci, LSD by the Wooster Group, Gil Scott Heron’s ‘Whitey on the Moon’, the lighting design of Peter Mumford, the lectures of Richard Feynman, and the music of Brian Eno, Nocturnes (I-III) is a symphonic exploration of humanity’s relationship with space, from stargazing to the space program to zero gravity to, finally, the infinite beyond.
