“HUMAN”

Written and directed by Nehprii Amenii

About the story.

“At the Bottom of the Ocean Where the Darkness Meets the Stars the Octopus will Tell the Story of a thing once called the HUMAN being…”

Now that Humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make...  Will it be willing to give up one of its 3 hearts in order to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance?

Told through the windows of a sunken submarine,  using images of the human heart, and a variety of puppetry styles--HUMAN is a 60-minute interactive puppet performance for the whole family! Comprised of a variety of puppetry styles,  dance and original music– this work asks families to explore what it truly means to be HUMAN.
