After the success of last year’s The Storyville Mosquito, Kid Koala returns to Massey Theatre for the only stop in B.C. with Nufonia Must Fall on November 15 and 16.

She’s a lonely office girl. He’s an out-of-work robot struggling to find his voice amidst the noise in the city. Little do they know that destiny has programmed them for the greatest love story of our time.

In this live, multi-disciplinary, magical stage adaptation of Kid Koala’s graphic novel Nufonia Must Fall, a team of 15 puppeteers, musicians, cinematographers, and technicians bring the story to life at each performance. The stage is set up with over 20 miniature sets and eight cameras. Under the direction of Oscar-nominated production designer K.K. Barrett (Her, Where the Wild Things Are, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich), each scene is performed, filmed, and projected in real-time onto a large screen above the stage. Kid Koala, accompanied by the Afiara String Quartet, performs his original score on piano and turntable. Kid Koala’s Nufonia Must Fall is a dialogue-free, timeless love story that’s fun for the whole family.
