A Japanese Noh-inspired space odyssey about immigration and long-distance relationships. Booba moves to the Moon for an internship. Will her love for Homie survive?
A gem of a collab, bringing together the coolest mavs of Sydney's underground and DIY arts scene.BOOBA begins like a toy spaceship cartoon: funny, sweet, and a little bit cringe. Booba, a self-proclaimed loser from Mars, lands an internship on the Moon—wide-eyed, hopeful, and a little homesick. She's desperate to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, Homie. The Moon, post-Earth-collapse, is a sanctuary for the elite. Mars is for the weirdos. Booba doesn’t mind. She wants a fresh start. She dreams in emojis. Her problems are small. Until they aren’t. Halfway through the play, a shocking reveal shatters her pastel delusion and forces Booba to grow up fast. And Homie? He’s not who she thought he was.Inspired by Noh theatre, a Japanese dramatic form where ghosts return to relive unresolved trauma. Featuring a set by by Lottie World, a genre-defying pop producer and visual artist from Sydney’s underground scene. Live ambient soundtrack by Umki, a multidisciplinary artist based on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land (Canberra), known for blending post-club textures with a ceremonial performance style.
