Agenda
Creation Creation / WINDMILL THEATRE COMPANY
Sydney Opera House, Sydney NSW, Australia
Based on interviews with people aged between 8-102, Creation Creation is a documentary/comedy about life’s biggest mysteries.
How did we get here? How did the world begin? Are aliens real?
Two fearless creators and performers will step onto the stage and attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe improvising with whatever tools they have at their disposal alongside a soundtrack created from 35 hours of recorded interviews and a vivid, highly original soundscape. Blankets become forts, cardboard boxes become battleships and ping pong balls become planets in this hilarious explosion of art, sculpture, physical theatre and puppetry.
A daring and audacious journey to the very edge of the universe and back again. It’s a wild theatrical experiment for the curious among us.
Some of the big questions tackled during this show, raised and then answered by the general public children and adults we interviewed, include; ‘how did the world begin?’, ’is there other life in the universe?’, ‘how are babies made?’, ‘what does dying feel like?’, and ‘what will life on earth be like in 1,000 years?’. These questions and answers are played out by our performers in gentle, moving and fun ways. Viewer discretion is advised, viewer curiosity is recommended.
