Synopsis:
Opening the day after Earth Day, A Thousand Thousand Slimy Things fuses nautical mythology and literature with oceanography and marine biology, hoping to inspire meditation on the literal plasticizing of the ocean habitat. A man floats on the open ocean, clinging to his best friend-an ever-shrinking bit of iceberg. He gazes below the surface of the water and thinks he sees. . .mermaids performing Ibsen's Lady from the Sea? Elsewhere, a salty sea captain shuttles back and forth from the miles-wide vortex in the North Central Pacific known as the Garbage Patch, delivering messages in bottles and smuggling the impossible. Elsewhere still, a marooned sea creature rants and a strange disease is spreading. All will collide in a mythic place called Florida. Inspired by the Weeki Wachee Mermaid Park-one of the nation's oldest roadside attractions (and smallest cities)-A Thousand Thousand Slimy Things is a floating fantasia, staged on board a docked barge in Brooklyn's historic Red Hook District. the production carries the energy of Earth Day forward and incorporates: material culled from sources ranging from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Moby Dick to oceanographic blogs and transcripts of first-hand interviews with the Weeki Wachee mermaids; original material generated by over 20 actors, writers, and designers over two years; and a portable set composed of reclaimed plastic objects. In the midst of the world's debate about how to reverse humanity's global impact-or whether there's been any significant impact at all-Polybe + Seats confronts a frightening possibility: What if there's nothing to be done? What does one do in the face of inevitable, unavoidable change?
