“It might squash all of us. The way we probably kill bugs all the time and don’t even know it. Just splat… and nobody cares.”
At a golf course on the edge of town, a reluctant group of young people are employed to keep watch over a landed spacecraft. The UFO sits, silent, with lights flashing—for minutes, hours, days.
But just when they’re ready to give up… 👽🦆🕷️
Using exquisitely detailed scale models, UFO is a work of sci-fi theatre performed entirely in 1:8 miniature.
re:group collective’s Solomon Thomas has teamed up with writer Kirby Medway for this beguiling mix of video, stop-motion animation, and live theatre. We guarantee it—you’ve never seen a more realistic depiction of human-UFO relations on stage.
