“Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die.” - H.G. Wells, The War of the WorldsFour performers enter the stage with cameras and construct an epic road movie before our eyes.
It’s a story we know, or think we know – an apocalyptic tale of alien invasion and the unfolding destruction of everything we hold dear. Extra-terrestrial lifeforms land from the skies. Lines of Brits scrabble to flee across the channel while their cities and towns lie in smouldering ruins. It’s all of our worst nightmares.
What would you do if order broke down?
What would you do to survive?
How far would you go to protect your own?
Using miniature environments, model worlds, camera tricks, and projection, imitating the dog mix the live and the recorded, the animate and the inanimate to create a thrilling, audacious and timely retelling of H.G. Wells’s classic novel.
Following their acclaimed adaptations of literary classics Heart of Darkness (2018), Dracula (2021), Macbeth (2023) and Frankenstein (2024), “multimedia daredevils” (The Times) imitating the dog push their inventive storytelling to new heights.
