The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik - Deep Sea Explorer

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.

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 too follow her soul down to the underworld so that they can be together again once more.

Created by Tim Watts, who employs an 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.

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer has won huge critical acclaim and received numerous awards and 5 * reviews. Some critics have compared the show to Pixar’s Wall-E for the stage. The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer has been performed over 300 times across the world including Korea, China, New Zealand, America, Canada and the UK.
Recommended for all ages, this show has a huge appeal to both young (12+) and old | Teacher's Resource Kit available on request.
