House Programme - Night Night
Asian Premiere
A heartwarming, theatrical-film about life, death, and other dimensions, created live each night.
Highly visual and playfully cinematic, the newest creation from Western Australia's The Last Great Hunt tells the tale of Pip, a downtrodden Antarctic scientist on a quest to discover the origin of life. Haunted by visions of an albino penguin, she stumbles upon a hidden plane of existence that challenges everything she thought she knew. As her world unravels, Pip must team up with a mysterious, glowing entity to reveal the threads that bind life, death, and the universe.
Night Night takes you on an extraordinary adventure, blending puppets, animation, and DIY digital magic. Witness the onscreen story while experiencing behind-the-scenes artistry as a theatrical film is created live before your eyes.
