There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten, that was filled with things that nobody wanted….
Based on ‘The Tin Forest’, a storybook by Helen Ward, ‘Plastic Paradiso’ uses dance and puppetry to tell a story about friendship and the natural world. It is set on an imagined, barren island where the lone inhabitant spends their time collecting the plastic which is forever washing up on the shore. Unexpectedly, they make friends with a bird who appears there after a storm. Demonstrating the power of friendship, the bird returns with a seed which rewilds the plastic island and gives new meaning to its inhabitants. It is a gentle show, using non-verbal communication and ‘old school’ theatrical magic.
‘Plastic Paradiso’ is most suitable for children aged 4 – 11yrs and their grown-ups Running time: 45 minutes
