Trees are essential for all life on Earth. They are among the largest and longest living organisms on Earth. To grow tall, the tree has become a miracle of engineering and a complex chemical factory.

Trees also remove carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, from the air.

The Life of the Trees is an entertaining and educational full-dome experience that tells the fascinating story of trees. The story is presented by two quirky, animated characters: a ladybug called Dolores and a firefly called Mike. The characters and the settings have been chosen with the idea of using the full dome format in a fascinating visual way that perfectly supports the educational aspect of the show.
