What I liked

I especially liked the idea of using puzzles and interactive elements instead of having the audience simply sit and watch. The combination of theatre, environmental themes, and problem-solving gives the show a unique identity. I also enjoy puzzle games such as Block Blast, so the interactive puzzle aspect of the project particularly caught my attention.

What I didn't like

The concept brings together a lot of different elements, including politics, climate issues, puzzles, and theatre. I think it would be important to keep the experience balanced so that the message doesn’t become overwhelming. Giving the audience enough time to understand and enjoy each puzzle could also make the interactive parts more effective.

My overall impression

The concept feels very creative and different from a traditional theatre experience. I like how the show combines storytelling with puzzles, props, and audience interaction while focusing on the serious issue of plastic pollution and the Pacific Ocean. The escape-room approach also seems like a fun way to keep the audience involved.
