‘An engaging and versatile solo perfomer moving from exuberant
Singing In The Rain-style dance to Cossack whirling...
Frequently moving as well as fun’
EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

‘Gorgeous... A beautifully thought through,
very funny and resourceful piece of physical theatre
that works for children and adults alike’
THE HERALD

Muttnik is a stray dog living on the streets of Moscow. One day she is captured, and to her surprise, finds herself in a shiny new home with food, water and adventures better than dreams. She is living at the Russian Space Centre and has been selected to be the first dog in space! She learns to fly a rocket, to parachute jump, to dance in zero gravity and to go ‘where no dog has gone before’. Will she skate on the rings of Saturn, and what will be her first message home from the moon?

Niki McCretton brings us her imaginative slant on what happened to Laika, the dog the Russians sent into space aboard the rocket Sputnik 2 in 1957. An international sell-out show, this enchanting tale is told with dance, music and puppetry.
