The whales are wary and sceptical of the creature from above, whose kind has wreaked havoc on the marine environment.

Premiering at the Bleach Festival – this production will be presented in an intimate casual setting in Centre’s black box theatre. With original composition by Nadia Sunde, and direction and dramaturge by Melina Collie-Holmes – this glorious intimate production is a must for the whole family.
