Laika's Coffin
An epic tale based on the biography of the doomed first animal in space. Three suitcases open to reveal remarkable miniature Soviet-inspired sets while an operatic narrator and three puppeteers animate the melancholy saga. Laika's Coffin is a toy theater production which first premiered at Collaboraction's Sketchbook 2007 where it won best director and best production.
A suitcase opera,
a miniature symphony,
a little prayer,
a message of hope.
