BY MATTHEW ROBINS
experience: an intricate ‘live
animation’, created from a puppet
show in miniature and projected
for the audience in real time.
This spellbinding mix of puppetry,
music and storytelling tells the
story of Kepler, an astronomer
who, after losing his wife in a tragic
circus accident, builds a mighty
rocket ship and embarks on an epic
journey to the end of the universe.
Inspirational and enchanting,
Something Very Far Away weaves
a quirky, nuanced tale of memory
and loss, space and time.
