1031 miles above the mighty USSR, Laika is trapped in a cardboard box, hurtling at 18,000mph into the unknown perils of space.
But she isn't alone - the walls bend as she fills her square world with stories of wondrous planets made of fire, smoke and ash.
Featuring live music, physical theatre and cutting-edge tech, Gilmore's story takes us on the final hours of Laika's infamous voyage, celebrating the soul who was the first to dance among the stars.
