Space Encounters
Space Encounters is a 50 minute interactive family opera created by Sean O'Boyle and Ian McFadyen. We join astronauts Harris and Jefferson, who have set off to an unknown planet in search of the source of a strange signal. There they meet something or someone they did not expect. With Jefferson's short temper and Harris' empathy who knows where the story will go and when Roland the Robot malfunctions will they ever be able to get back home?
