1927: Please Right Back
When a mysterious disappearance leaves a family searching for answers, a series of cryptic letters leads them deeper into a labyrinth of surreal secrets.
Seamlessly synchronising animation and performance, 1927’s poignant coming-of-age tale is a unique and mind-blowing world of pure inventiveness.
Part social realism, part science fiction, with a healthy dose of mischief and a dash of dystopia, come and see this manifesto for the power of the imagination.
A 1927 and Burgtheater Vienna co-production
