LITTLE BLUE DOT

Camping together on a star-lit night Dad and Kid wait for a comet passing by for the first time in 50,000 years. While they wait, Kid explains to Dad gravity, light years, space-time and blackholes. Grounded in a camping star-gazing adventure between a child and their dad, LITTLE BLUE DOT tackles the big questions we ask about space, our place in it and why our precious little planet matters so very much. Made in collaboration with the Department of Astrophysics and Mathematics at Monash University and co-commisioned by Monash Performing Arts Centre and Geelong Arts Centre, LITTLE BLUE DOT marries accurate astrophysics with a human story of childhood passion, deep parental love, family adventures, camping mishaps, and important human lessons about the uncertainty of life that we all must learn.
