The Longest Night

The winter solstice provides the backdrop for this one-of-a-kind planetarium show. This original fable explores the concept that winter is a time for Earth to rest, waiting for new growth in the spring.

Morehead collaborated with Paperhand Puppet Intervention to develop the story and visuals. The Morehead production team then seamlessly wove together live-action video of Paperhand’s world-class puppeteers with beautiful and intricate animation to create this innovative and imaginative program.

Produced by UNC Morehead Planetarium and Science Center.
