Travel back to Moscow in 1957! Embark on a heart-pounding journey into space with Laika, the clever and gentle stray puppy whose remarkable destiny made her the world’s first space explorer.
This production blends diverse performance forms, including live rear projection, puppetry, automatons and shadow play. Audiences are transported to the Soviet Union of the 1950s, invited not only to relive an extraordinary chapter of history, but also to reflect on human progress and the deeper meaning of life.
Since its premiere in 2018, Laika has become one of Xirriquiteula Teatre’s signature works. The play has been adapted into 12 languages, performed more than 400 times across Europe and Asia, and honoured with multiple awards, including the 2021 MAX Award for Best Show for Family Audiences.
