Nufonia Must Fall: Live A Theatrical Cinema Experience

This show is a completely live multi-disciplinary adaptation of Kid Koala’s graphic novel of the same name. A team of 15 people including puppeteers, musicians, cinematographers and technicians work together on stage to create this “live animated graphic novel.” Under the direction of Oscar-nominated production designer KK Barrett (Lost In Translation, Where the Wild Things Are, Being John Malkovich, Her), the performance is cinematically lit, flmed, and projected on a large screen above the stage. Kid Koala, accompanied by the Afaria String Quartet, performs his original score on piano and turntable. All of the elements come together in real time. Equal parts cinema, theatre, musical concert – audiences can watch as an amazing team of puppeteers bring the characters of Kid Koala’s graphic novel Nufonia Must Fall to life in miniature sets built to recreate each scene from the book. Nufonia Must Fall has been touring for 4 years on 5 continents.
