What if the ocean could speak for itself?
The Ocean gets the chance to tell its side of the story in this new music theatre experience from Obie Award-winning theater company PearlDamour. An epic human vs ocean showdown fusing myth, stand-up, song and science to link below-the-surface mystery with above-the-surface climate issues.
Set in a future Global Senate, “Mr. Majority” proposes a bill to end the ocean as we know it and the Ocean arrives in human form to defend itself. Powerhouse actor Jenn Kidwell plays both roles, joined by an “ocean choir” singing an urgent question: Can humans realize that we are Ocean, before it’s too late?
All performances include a special interactive intermission, where audiences can explore multiple “mini-labs” combining scientific fact and playful fabulation to evoke wonder and curiosity and bring them deeper into the themes of the show. Ocean Filibuster is part of Live Arts Miami’s EcoCultura series of “performances for the planet” and encourages audiences to look out from the theater to the ocean, climate and community that we are all a part of.
