FULL METAL AQUATIC: A FUTURE SEAS THRILLER
ONLINE PERFORMANCE (2022).
CREATED, WRITTEN + PERFORMED WITH DAVID FINNIGAN.
In the year 2030, the Reverie deep-water floating platform is the ultimate in offshore luxury: a high-end tourist destination, fish farm and energy source. Without warning, it's been taken down by hijackers. Now, Reverie designer Lara Nguyen is reluctantly pulled out of retirement to help infiltrate the facility she left a decade ago – and to face her own dark secrets.
The third in a trilogy of interactive, future scenario-based performance lectures – following CrimeForce: LoveTeam and Broken Hearts 2035 – Full Metal Aquatic was created in response to a series of 11 research papers released by the Future Seas Project, based at the University of Tasmania, and the Centre for Marine Socioecology.
