PLASTIC DRASTIC FANTASTIC | AKADEMI
Akademi presents Plastic Drastic Fantastic, a contemporary dance theatre work for children and their families.
The show explores humanity’s complex relationship with plastics – the fantastic possibilities they offer, as well as the drastic consequences to the environment. Drawing from the Indian classical dance form Bharatanatyam and South Asian dance techniques, the artists investigate plastics and the dangers of their misuse through intricate movement, gestures and play, infused with interaction with the audience.
