The Big Bang
Klaipėda Puppet theatre
AN ECOLOGICAL TALE, GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE, FEATURING MINIATURE PUPPETS AND WARNING OF THE URGENT NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
Here, on just one of a number of planets that came out of the Big Bang, we discover the everyday life of a mini-robot and its dog living in a world made entirely of metallic, electronic devices. Everything should be fine in such a high-tech electronic universe as designed by the Klaipėda Puppet Theatre, but suddenly it starts raining: torrential rain that looks as if it will never stop. Disaster lies ahead as water is not the best companion for metal and electricity. How can they save the day? Using puppets made from all sorts of recycled material then filmed and projected onto a screen, the show investigates the mystery of how living beings develop, and with an element of humor raises the critical question of the measures needed to deal with climate change.
