This multidisciplinary play delves into the microcosmic and celestial realms, the minuscule and the vast. At the heart of our narrative is an unconventional hero: a bacterium. It's a testament to the wonders of the small-scale world and its profound implications on our existence, challenging our perceptions and inviting us to appreciate bacterial life's intricate beauty and complexity.
The play is also informed by the latest scientific discoveries, which unravel the hidden complexity of microbial existence, illuminated by technological advancements. Our innovative approach marries dance, puppetry, and modern digital art, including motion drawing on iPad and the creative use of AI.
