Alvin Sputnik is earth’s last hope.

The seas have risen, billions have died, and those who remain live on farms on top of skyscrapers, on top of 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. It is up to Alvin Sputnik to venture through the mysterious depths to find a place for the human race to live in peace once more.

Direct from premiere seasons in Perth and invitation performances at the 2009 New York International Fringe, Perth Theatre Company is proud to present Weeping Spoon Production’s “The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer

A multi faceted solo extravaganza performance about the environment and enduring love - Alvin Sputnik is a unique performance event with every aspect of the show being controlled on stage by the deviser/performer - Tim Watts.

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer comes from one of Western Australia’s most creative emerging theatre teams and blends puppetry, mime, digital animation, live action, and spoken word in a universe that blends Jim Henson’s charm with Tim Burton’s aesthetic.
