Sea of Plastic Bags is a poetic and visual performance about the sea, plastic, and marine animals. The performance takes the audience to the seashore, to the stones smoothed by sand and waves, to feel and hear what the sea has to say today. After the performance, the audience is invited onto the stage to spend time exploring the landscape created during the show.
