Plastic Paradiso
There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten, that was filled with things that nobody wanted…. Based on ‘The Tin Forest’, a storybook by Helen Ward, ‘Plastic Paradiso’ uses dance and puppetry to tell a story about friendship and the natural world. It is set on an imagined, barren island where the lone inhabitant spends their time collecting the plastic which is forever washing up on the shore. Unexpectedly, they make friends with a bird who appears there after a storm. Demonstrating the power of friendship, the bird returns with a seed which rewilds the plastic island and gives new meaning to its inhabitants. It is a gentle show, using non-verbal communication and ‘old school’ theatrical magic. With a set made out of plastic found on the beaches of Dorset and designed by Bridport’s own Holly Miller we are super excited to bring this to Bridport Arts Centre.
