'How did we get here? Are aliens real? And is it possible to lick your elbow?

'Based on interviews with members of the South Australian community aged between 8-102, Creation Creation is a comedy about life’s biggest mysteries.

'We’ve asked two fearless creators to step onto the stage and attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe using whatever tools they have at their disposal. Cardboard boxes become battleships and ping pong balls become planets in this hilarious explosion of art, sculpture and puppetry.

'A daring and audacious journey to the very edge of the universe and back again. It’s a wild theatrical experiment for the curious among us.'
