The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer

The Edge presents a Perth Theatre Company and Weeping Spoon Production 

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer by Tim Watts

Little bit of Love

After a sold out season in New York in 2009, this international multi-award winning Australian solo show is finally coming to NZ as part of the Auckland Fringe!

From the most isolated city on Earth (Perth, Western Australia) comes a visually inspired solo show that melds technology and multimedia into a touching story of enduring love and the end of the world.

The seas have risen, billions have died, and those who remain live on farms on top of skyscrapers, on top of mountains. Now science and humanity are turning to the oceans themselves. It is up to Alvin Sputnik to venture through the mysterious depths to find a place for the human race to live in peace once more.

“The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer” is created and performed by Tim Watts, (Weeping Spoon Productions) an international award winning writer/deviser, director, performer, puppeteer and animator, who has performed and created shows all over the world. He comes to Auckland direct from Sydney Festival and after a sold out season at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2009 where he received an award for “Outstanding Solo Show” and rave reviews…

“...an endearing Australian solo show...akin to a theatrical “Wall-E.” - New York Times

“I highly doubt any $40 million Broadway spectacles could pack such an emotional wallop into two-and-a-half hours as Mr. Watts does into 45 minutes.” - BroadwayWorld.com
