“If Pixar had a theatrical division, one would think (and hope) they'd create something like this show.”- NYTheatre.com

About the Show
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 to follow her soul down to the underworld so that they can be together again once more.
The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is a multi award-winning one-man micro-epic puppet show that melds technology and multimedia into a touching story of enduring love and the end of the world.
A visually inspired solo show, The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is created and performed by Tim Watts, who employs a unique blend of mime, puppetry, live and recorded music, and animation to present an exploration of the next and oldest frontier: the deep blue sea.
Watts debuted
The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer at Perth’s Blue Room Theatre in June 2009 before presenting a highly successful season at the New York International Fringe Festival, where it was awarded “Outstanding Solo Show” and received rave reviews.

About the Show
Saltbush is an exquisite interactive journey through the culture and landscape of Aboriginal Australia, celebrated through live dance, music, song and stories. Internationally acclaimed Italian company Compagnia TPO has worked in collaboration with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians to create another beautiful piece in the highly acclaimed Children’s Cheering Carpet series.
The Saltbush narrative centres on the journey of two friends from different Aboriginal backgrounds as they cross Australia on foot, and is performed on a touch-sensitive floor using infra-red imaging technology that triggers images and sound. Their journey sees them travel across diverse Australian landscapes (countries) —- river country, an urban landscape, desert and the sea. The journey is one of discovering the land (country), growing an understanding and acknowledging how it challenges or provokes personal journeys. Children are invited to explore, play and dance with the performers as the landscape unfolds around them, providing a unique immersive experience, where the audience can become part of this visually beautiful journey.
TPO’s award winning artistry in multi-media theatre for young people is combined with the work of acclaimed professional Aboriginal artists Lou Bennett (music), Delwyn Mannix (visual art), Deon Hastie (dance) and Sasha Zahra (dramaturgy) under the artistic direction of former Come Out director and Insite Arts partner Jason Cross and TPO director Davide Venturini.
Through its sensor and infra-red imaging technology, TPO’s Children’s Cheering Car¬pet concept allows the children to interact, play and perform in the production and provides an immersive experience of the artwork. This also provides a unique experience for parents and teachers as they watch the children become involved.
The project is the result of collaboration between acclaimed Italian theatre company TPO and Australian Aboriginal artists. The work was a co-production with Teatro Metastasio Stabile della Toscana in Prato and was commissioned by the Australian Festival for Young People (Come Out 2009) in Adelaide with the assistance of the City of Melbourne’s ArtPlay and produced by Insite Arts.
