Survival On a Strange Planet

SURVIVAL ON A STRANGE PLANET

In space, no one can hear you change the channel. 

By Darcie Rae Boatswain and Calum Johnston

Following an unplanned crash landing into an earthling’s apartment, a stranded and incompetent interstellar traveller must carefully plan their first steps into the outside world. Their only points of reference are an unresponsive human body and a collection of sci-fi movies. 

Through incredible circus, playful puppetry, and comedic physical theatre, Survival on a Strange Planet explores how the stories we tell shape our views of the world around us. See the human-made world through new eyes as a naive alien discovers what we think about ourselves and each other through our pop culture in a fun-filled adventure. 

Survival On A Strange Planet received initial development through the DPS Academy with Dead Puppet Society and The Princess Theatre.
