See the show before it jets off to the New York Fringe Festival in August!

Alvin Sputnik is Earth’s last hope. The seas have risen, billions have died, and those who remain live on farms on top of skyscrapers, on top of mountains.

The scientists have tried everything. Floating islands sank, space probes found nothing, and the giant sponges, visible from the moon, are now rotting icons of failure.

Now science and humanity are turning to the oceans themselves. It is up to Alvin Sputnik to venture through the mysterious depths to find a place for the human race to live in peace once more.

From the imagination of international multi-award winning theatre company Weeping Spoon Productions, comes a visually inspired solo show using a unique blend of mime, puppetry and transformative animation to explore the next and oldest frontier, the deep blue sea.

“...skilful animated live theatre.” - The West Australian

“...the most dynamic and innovative group currently producing theatre in Perth, young or otherwise; professional or independent”  - Luke Milton
