The Mission
Winner of the Les Enfants Terribles Partnership Award (in association with Greenwich Theatre)
The Mission is a devised piece feating physical/visual theatre, puppetry and an original soundtrack, discussing how the exploration of space has pushed and motivated humanity.
The Mission follows a journey of discovery inspired by the past, present and future of Space Exploration. We follow the story of Jenny, an ordinary girl given an extraordinary Mission. Will Jenny help secure a future for mankind? Does Space hold the answer when all is lost? And just what have we learnt from Space Missions of the past?
