Nearing 30, Julian finds himself lost.  He’s been standing still in life for some time...  So, the universe conspires, creating this strange mystery, in order to get him moving again.

Everything seems connected. So what is really going on? Do you know? Do we? It is a question that’s impossible to answer. It could just be a lie after all

A Slightly Isolated Dog presents a mysterious new event that is simply unlike anything seen in Wellington theatre. Different? Yes. Pushing the boundary of dramatic art? We'd like to think so. Pretentious? Maybe.  Provocative? Yes. Death and the Dreamlife of Elephants is a production that brings theatre out from four walls and into the grandest stage of all: Life itself. It seems to be everywhere, but what exactly is it?  Will you play along?

What we do know is that something will indeed be happening on November 10, 2009 at BATS Theatre. And what we do know is that the performances within those four walls are but a climax of a something – or some thing – that will reveal itself when the time is right. Before then… There will be noir. There will be a detective. Maybe a prostitute. The lonely streets of Wellington. A seedy nightclub. Oh, and definitely an Elephant hunt…

Mental Health Break
 

Those of you sitting in offices will appreciate this one: Venn Diagrams. But cooler than you think. Now, it being Summer and all that, perhaps a spot of Tennis is in order? Or for something more sedate but just as addictive, we bring you virtual bubble wrap.

Death and the Dreamlife of Elephants is pretty trippy in parts - so are these Elephants, especially when the soundtrack is Sun Ra. And finally, the Smurfs are Communists. You heard it here first.
