Ocean Filibuster
A genre-crashing music theater experience set in a future Global Senate.
Ocean Filibuster: a genre-crashing music theater experience set in a future Global Senate. When “Mr. Majority” proposes a bill to end the ocean as we know it, The Ocean arrives in human form to defend itself. Jennifer Kidwell, playing both roles, is joined by an “ocean ensemble” singing an urgent question: Can humans realize that we are Ocean, before it’s too late? Ocean Filibuster uses spectacle, participation and immersive performance to activate awareness and engagement in ocean science and climate justice.
Audience Role
Ocean Filibusteruses spectacle, participation and immersive performance to activate awareness and engagement in science and climate justice. The very core of the project calls for deep community engagement; embedding a local ensemble into the performance, and working with the community to create a hyper-local interactive intermission.
