Laika Dog In Space is a Neo-Futurist play with music that asks: what if Laika, a little dog launched into space by a bunch of Russian scientists with big ambitions, hadn't died but instead had somehow continued to live in space? What would she be like? Who would she meet? What would she do with all of her free time? And what does she have to do with us? The play uses music, fairy tales, television and, of course, the personal stories of the Neo-Futurists, to explore death, isolation, and adventure in a surprisingly upbeat and comic way.

The New York Neo-Futurists are an ensemble of dynamic writer/performer/ directors who present the critically acclaimed, energetic show of original short plays, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind--a non-illusory collage of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, the visceral and experimental, while embracing chance, change, and chaos. Developing out of the format that has been a success in Chicago since 1988, the New York Neo-Futurists have roots in NYC from the mid 90's. Since opening TML in New York five years ago, they have created over 1500 plays and continue to present award-winning, new and vital work every weekend in the East Village.
