The first dog on the moon
Bestiary
Contemporary musical stories
Perhaps you've heard of Laika, the dog sent to space by the soviets in 1957?
How did she get there? What did she think was happening? How did she feel, rocketing her way to the moon? Experience her journey from the inside. Squeeze into that cramped cabin and share the thrills, chills, and sheer terror of that canine hero as played by Sophie Nélisse.
Narrated by Sophie Nélisse
Recorded in December 2020 at Théâtre Paradoxe in Montreal
