Kid Koala presents Space Cadet, a “quiet time” immersive headphone experience based on his second graphic novel. Dubbed “a triumph of whimsy” by Spin magazine, the audience listens through individual headphone systems as Kid Koala brings his Space Cadet score
to life on a piano and turntables, accompanied by delicate animations
inspired by his book. Through a special collaboration with International

perfumery, Kid Koala also add custom scents to the experience, making
