Description:
Earth is dying. Nothing can be done. Our only hope is to launch a hippo into space. Along the way she will encounter new worlds, strange alien creatures and end up at the centre of an intergalactic war. Hilarious, weird and epic science fiction from Japan, experienced through award-winning cinematic shadow puppetry. The performers project over two hundred handmade puppets onto a large screen to create a live analogue motion picture before your very eyes. 'Surprisingly touching and beautifully executed' ***** (CBC). 'This is theatre at its best, magically conjuring truth from imaginatively conceived absurdity' ***** (ThreeWeeks).
