Way back in 2003, Vancouver-born, Montreal-based turntablist Kid Koala released a graphic novel and accompanying soundtrack called Nufonia Must Fall . It was your basic love story between a bored office worker and an approaching-obsolescence robot.
Now, 11 years later, Kid Koala will mount a live production of the book. Nufonia Must Fall LIVE will be directed by Oscar-nominated production designer K.K. Barrett, and will be "equal parts cinema, theatre and musical concert," according to a press release. It will be put together using real-time filming, more than a dozen miniature stages and puppets. Kid Koala will score the production live, along with the Afiara Quartet.
It will debut on May 31 at the Eric Harvie Theatre in Banff, before having a three-day run from June 7-9 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Theatre in Toronto as part of Luminato Festival.
Nufonia Must Fall LIVE will be shown along with the National Film Board's six-minute 3D short Minotaur, which was animated by Munro Ferguson and scored by Kid Koala.
