Lé Nør [the rain]
Monash University Performing Arts Centres is proud to present the Victorian premiere of The Last Great Hunt’s award-winning, sell-out faux foreign film live on stage.
A celebration of 80s nostalgia set in the small island nation of Sólset - a once thriving metropolis in the northern seas, but now a decade-long drought-stricken community. With only a few hopeful residents remaining, audiences will experience a heartfelt but hilarious climate change story about the endurance of the human spirit, romance, lust, love and heartbreak in a world that’s falling apart.
The ’80s arthouse cinema classic you’ve never seen – because it doesn’t really exist – performed live on stage.
From the multi-award winning team behind Whistleblower, The Irresistible, New Owner, It’s Dark Outside and Alvin Sputnik comes a deeply romantic visual extravaganza that will reignite your love of humanity. A faux foreign film performed live on stage, in an invented language with English subtitles, Western Australia’s The Last Great Hunt combine cinematic mastery and theatrical magic to tell interwoven stories of love in a world that’s falling apart.
After sell out seasons at Perth Festival and Mandurah Performing Arts Centre in 2019, Lé Nør [the rain] invites the audience to witness both the onscreen story and the behind-the-scenes action in a nostalgic celebration of everything worth fighting for.

Feedback/Comments
Just Brilliant Live theatre as is! The best acting we have ever seen, very talented guys at every point and the technique overall is future of theatre. Would love to see their next play.
Original, quirky, funny & totally engaging. A performance that deserved the standing ovation it received.
Absolutely blown away by the talented performers from The Last Great Hunt theatre group. I loved the complex blend of live performance and live recorded video. Having so much happening on stage at once, meant that the show really summoned your full presence. The Last Great Hunt elevated a fun, quirky 80’s story into something totally unique and masterful. A must see show, that’ll linger in your mind long after it ends.
very funny and very clever
Fantastic show. Super clever . Cast were brilliant and it was so funny. Laughed a lot and felt very entertained.
Incredible experience. Like nothing I’ve ever seen. Almost magical. With just the right amount of humour. Very talented performers
Brilliant show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was very, very well done and funny too. Highly recommend seeing it.
Clever concept executed so well! We really enjoyed the performance.
Very arthouse, very weird in a good way, cast were great
Fabulous show pity not enough exposure
Absolutely amazing show. Loved the cast and performance!
Absolutely mind blowing performance. Ten years in the making and it shows, the world was so deeply developed and rich. I'm still in awe of what I saw. Venue was great and the q&a following the performance was very insightful. Top notch live theatre!
A phenomenal piece of theatre. Can’t wait to see what this company has coming up next!
