Laika and Wills
“Outer space was as far as I could travel without ever going anywhere...”
It's 1957 and a satellite carrying a little dog called Laika streaks across the Russian night. Is it science or propaganda? A memory or fate?
A world premiere work created by She Said specifically for the Melbourne Fringe, Laika and Wills is a story about love, destiny, and other convictions adrift in the cosmos.
Winner: Outstanding Indigenous Artist award from Melbourne Fringe for performer Ian Michael.
