SYNOPSIS "Every once in a while, an artist creates from pure imagination an amazing artistic expression of an idea, a thought, or a feeling. We present to our young people an extraordinary piece of theatre to fire their imagination. The fact that it is performed solely by one person is enough to leave young audiences in wonderment." – Ruby Lim-Yang, Artistic Director, ACT 3 International.

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is the tiny tale set in the deepest dark blue sea.

The story of a solitary explorer with a heart as big as a whale, it is a highly imaginative fusion of animation, mime, puppetry, projections and song, by master storyteller Tim Watts, Australia. The seas have risen, billions have died and those who are left live on farms atop skyscrapers, atop mountains. The 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. Now science and humanity are turning to the oceans themselves. 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 follow her soul down to the underworld to be together with her once more.
