IN SHORT
Plankton tells the ancient story of our Earth without words, but with a vast set of cardboard rivers, forests, and mountains. From the formation of the moon to the disappearance of mankind: a magical time travel experience for everyone aged 8 and up.

Plankton adapts the 4.54 million year history of the earth into a brand new, visual, language-free performance for everyone aged 8 and over. Let yourself be carried away by an immense landscape painting that comes to life and makes you think on a different time scale. From the birth of the moon, past the first algae to come ashore, to the extinction of humans and even further...

This is the monumental story of how our earth is constantly changing, told through a huge backdrop of cardboard rivers, clouds and trees.

Let yourself be carried away by an immense landscape painting that has come to life and makes you think on a different time scale. From the birth of the moon, past the first algae to come ashore, to the extinction of humans and even further...

About the makers

Plankton is the collective of Sonja van Ojen and Hendrik Kegels. With their shared fascination for the magic of the everyday, they create performances that lie on the border between object theatre, visual art and mime. Where fantasy writers create worlds with elves and trolls, Plankton mythologizes electrical sockets, pebbles and fire extinguishers. In a committed manner, but always with a gentle hand, Plankton gives a platform to the non-human, the things that normally do not get a chance to speak. They create worlds in which things no longer exist as a function of humans. In which man is no longer the center, not above everything else, but in between, on an equal footing.
