Goldfish, written by Dan Giovannoni
A solo puppeteer is performing a fable for children. We imagine a flourishing society that does away with time, ignoring night and day, leading to a great flood. Suddenly, in the theatre, a team of disaster recovery workers burst in to transform it into an evacuation centre. Among these competing narratives we begin to ask, what role should humanity, and the theatre, play in times of increasing disaster?
