The Life of Trees

Meet Dolores and Mike exploring the secrets of trees.

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. By means of photosynthesis the leaves combine the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients which feed the tree. 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 world 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.
