Small Blue Thing
Arts Market
Information
We invite audiences of all ages into an interactive performance installation to come on a journey to the wonder of outer space, to rediscover our connection to each other, and to the small blue planet we inhabit.
With our signature technologies (projections, mixed reality, and interactivity) we depict the vastness of space and the fragility of Earth, told through the lens of First Nations writer and singer, Shakira Clanton.
"Small Blue Thing" is unique storytelling, blending hypnotic physical theatre amongst an immersive landscape and cutting-edge interactive technology.
Part love letter to our endangered planet, part interactive exploration and part joyful participatory audience experience. With Small Blue Thing we will create a hopeful vision for our collective future, with an unforgettable 360 degree performance experience.
