Impossible – The Catarina Sobral Cycle

In this first creation by the award-winning illustrator Catarina Sobral, we start at the very beginning: when everything was in the same place. The whole world, and everything that exists beyond it, once fit into the same space. We don’t know how it came about, but we do know that the Universe originated in a very small space. It seems impossible, but it’s true: it all began when big things were small. Through the interaction between the actress and the images manipulated in real time by the illustrator, *Impossível* tells the story of the universe, seen up close (and from several light-years away), from the Big Bang to the emergence of humankind, taking us on a long journey amongst particles, stars and dinosaurs.
