Amira is completely obsessed with space and dreams of becoming an astronaut. But one night, the bangs, whooshes and fizzes of her imagination explode right out of her dreams, becoming a deafening reality. In the darkness, Amira must leave her hometown to go on an adventure, to find a safe space.

An original one woman show without words, A Strange New Space combined physical theatre with stunning puppetry and original music. The audience traveled with Amira on an imagined voyage into space, which was paralleled with her real-life journey as a refugee across continents.
