Deep

Auckland Fringe 2020

With Sicko Productions

In the pitch-black of the Deep, anything is possible.

When marine archeologist Rebekah Poleman volunteers for a routine expedition in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, her thirst for isolation invites a nightmare scenario: Rebekah finds herself untethered from her submarine, stranded four-thousand feet deep in the lightless Midnight Zone with only terrifying species of marine life for company.

Oh, and she’s got less than an hour’s oxygen left.

With a host of spectacular luminous puppets created by PAT’s Chye-Ling Huang & puppetmaster Paul Lewis, underwater creatures from friendly blobfish to orgasm-inducing clouds of bioluminescence take our hero on a dark and humorous journey that explores the difficulty to ignore your negative inner voice and be kind to yourself.
