Summary/Abstract: „Into myPlanet” is a multimedia conceptual performance created by the Romanian Association of Women in Art, Inter-Art ansamble and Augmented Space Agency in partnership with Cinetic and it embodies virtual scenography, dance, film and electronic music. As a whole, this complex opus by composer Mihaela Vosganian is inspired by Kabbalistic Annual Planetary Cycle, Hindu and Hellenistic phylosophies, and mythologies combined with real frequencies of planets and stars recorded by NASA.„Into myPlanet” has evolved on stage as multimedia show, during the contemporary music festival Meridian 2017 in Bucharest, Romania, as well as experimental film proposed by the Romanian Cultural Institute to be projected in the Planetarium of Beograd, Serbia. This ongoing development may result in different products such as multimedia theatre dance show, experimental film series, planetarium show and VR content.At the moment, the creators have finalised four of the seven moment of the entire Planetary Cycle – HelioSun, Lunar, Mercurian and Jupiterian, which are analyzed in this article. These are to be continued with Mars, Venusian and Saturnian, as the Annual Planetary Cycle is formed out of seven figures: Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. The creation of the video art was inspired by the music and its history which has been a guide through the process from the beginning until the end. This article will explain, from the point of view of a filmmaker, the process of the artists when combining myths and archetypal rituals with the possibilities of tehnology today.
