Enos





Devised and performed by Donald Craigie



A show about life, the Universe... and paper rockets.



OffFest Finalist for best performance at Voila! Europe

- Offie Awards 2023 -


Amid shooting stars and the radio static, Enos the chimpanzee looks back at Earth, the only place in the Universe we can call home.


A multimedia solo performance devised and developed from personal interviews and research into the mission archives of NASA’s History Division. Enos is an innovative piece of visual storytelling unfolding in the intimate orbit of a single room. A handmade theatrical performance composed from movement, memories and pieces of cardboard.
