It is 1917. The world is at war. On the home front, Australia is wrestling with rapid technological change — aviation promising both thrilling progress and terrifying new forms of warfare.
Then the sightings begin. Strange shapes moving through the clouds. Lights flickering across the night sky. Unidentified flying objects over the Central Highlands.
Ballarat is thrown into panic. Invaders. But from where? Outer Space? Europe? Germany?
Audiences are invited to join a team of plucky adventurers as they investigate whether these reports are wartime hysteria, elaborate hoaxes, or something far beyond what anyone could have imagined.
Blending live performance, improvisation, historical immersion, and interactive storytelling, the event will unfold in real time before both a live audience and an online streaming community.
Set within one of Ballarat's most significant heritage buildings, the Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute, this production offers a uniquely immersive experience, where past anxieties meet modern narrative craft.
