3 PERFORMANCES, Nov 15 (7:30pm), Nov 16 (4pm & 7:30pm) at Massey Theatre in New Westminster, BC
Part film, part puppetry, part live music, and 100% award-winning storytelling, Nufonia Must Fall is a multidisciplinary performance piece created by internationally renowned Canadian DJ and musician Kid Koala and directed by K.K. Barrett (oscar nominated production designer of Her, Lost In Translation, Being John Malkovich)
A tone-deaf robot, fearful of his growing obsolescence, tries to woo an office worker with his love songs in prolific producer and turntablist Kid Koala’s (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030) bold adaptation of his tender, and entirely wordless, graphic novel Nufonia Must Fall. Collaborating with Oscar-nominated production designer K.K. Barrett, Kid Koala enlists a team of puppeteers to stage the circuit-bent amoré as camera crews edit the footage in real time, resulting in a live silent film. Kid Koala provides the mesmerizing original score, performed by the polymath himself on turntables and keyboards alongside a string quartet.

"At each and every moment: moving, original, and deeply inspiring. One of the great entertainments of the year." - Darren Aronofsky (director, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, Pi)
"The film, small and tender, could stand strong on its own, but the heart of the production lies in watching it being created." - The Guardian
"Nufonia Must Fall plays as genuine romance." - The New York Times
“The story itself feels like a mix of Chaplin follies and Pixar charm…the simplicity and sweetness of its characters serve to amplify the complexity of the production” - Boston Globe
