The Whale : Plastic Ocean
Bold explorers squeeze into the belly of an enormous inflatable Sperm Whale where they find themselves in the depths of the bubbling, kelp-swirling ocean. They encounter an acrobatic diver who leads them swimmingly through the age-old journey of the life of an ancient Leatherback Turtle. With the use of exquisite puppets, comedy, and music, Circo Rum Ba Ba explore the tale of sea creatures and their battle to survive in an ocean full of rubbish. The audience help to save the turtle and the Whale from a deluge of plastic and travel from the Indian ocean to a coral reef, leaving feeling empowered that everyone can make a difference.
Note for ticket buyers - upon arrival, you will be asked to crawl inside The Whale; please note that some deflation can occur as you enter, but this is continuously monitored by the performers. Once inside, you will be shown to your sitting position on the floor of the first chamber for the first part of the show. Afterwards, you will be taken to a second chamber, where you will again sit on the floor for the rest of the show. You will then be led out of The Whale from the same opening as you entered.
We hope that you enjoy the show!
