ALIEN SPECIES
Plastic waste is having an irreversible effect on our seas and oceans. In this performance audiences are invited to imagine a new Alien Species that might evolve when plastics mutate into living beings- sea creatures that emerge from the ocean and transform into trash.
Eerily beautiful and absolutely unforgettable.
