Hello Red Planet (FREE Event)
Thursday 19 September 7:00pm

COMMUNITY EVENT
Hello Red Planet is a humorous theatrical
celebration of our community’s shared history. This family-focused
production engages with local residents to collect their perspectives and
stories, and then integrates these into a public ‘info-night’ comedy
puppet show.
Baw Baw Shire is being re-located to Mars (we promise,
it's the best way to dodge those Earthly troubles), and this info session
is required viewing. Tired of lush Mt Baw Baw? Embrace the endless shades
of Martian red. No more mosquitos, no more noisy corellas and no more
hayfever!
Ahead of the 'info-night' audio interviews with local
residents are recorded, investigating the pride, problems and shared
stories of the local community. These are edited and re-purposed using
puppetry and animation techniques and presented at the main public event
where two hilariously out-of-touch futurist developers will make their
impassioned pitch on why and how the community will be relocated to the
new Mars colony.
Join renowned storytellers Bunk Puppets for a
satirical information session laying out their daring escape plan from
Earth. Learn what’s coming along, (and who’s not).
