What if an imaginary climate activist broke the wall between the stage and the sea to host a sit-in on the Great Garbage Patch? In this (mostly) 1-woman show, She draws the audience into her trashy theater world, and challenges them to imagine a better one. Through interactions with puzzles, props, plastic, politics, and prose (sometimes all at once), people will ponder upon the problem of the Pacific.
“The Great Specific Garbage Catch” by Tyler Neufeld was workshopped with Untitled Theatre Company at UCLA in 2022, and was performed again as part of the Bruin Fringe Fest in 2023. Now, the text has been stretched and reworked into an immersive escape room experience, where the audience is trapped with She on the plastic until the UN reaches their climate consensus, and until the show is over.
