THE ADVENTURES OF ALVIN SPUTNIK: DEEP SEA EXPLORER

ABOUT

A multi-award-winning one-man micro-epic puppet show that melds technology and multimedia into a touching story of enduring love and the end of the world. 

The seas have risen, billions have died and those who are left live on farms atop skyscrapers and mountains. Scientists have tried everything. Floating islands sank, space probes found nothing, and the giant sponges, visible from the moon, are now rotting icons of failure. 

A last-ditch effort to save the human race requires journeying down through the mysterious depths of the deep blue sea to find a new place for us to live. Alvin Sputnik, who has just lost his wife, accepts this perilous mission so that he may to follow her soul down to the underworld to be together once more. 

Having charmed audiences worldwide, and received countless five-star reviews, we are delighted to be able to present this gorgeous production.
