After the success of last year’s The Storyville Mosquito, Kid Koala returns to the Massey Theatre with Nufonia Must Fall on November 15 at 7:30 pm and November 16 at 4 pm and 7:30 pm.
She’s a lonely office girl. He’s an out-of-work robot struggling to find his voice amid city noise. Little do they know that destiny has programmed them for a wondrous love story.
In this magical multidisciplinary adaptation of Kid Koala’s graphic novel Nufonia Must Fall, a team of 15 puppeteers, musicians, cinematographers, and technicians bring the story to life with over 20 miniature sets and eight cameras. Kid Koala performs his original score on piano and turntable, accompanied by the Nufonia String Quartet.
Massey Theatre is also hosting the Performing Arts & Technology Festival at Eighth & Eight Creative Spaces from November 14 to 17, and audiences can join Kid Koala at three events.
Tickets to Nufonia Must Fall are available here.
