A sound performance on choice, voice and our impending doom. 

Subversive, submersive sonic journey about the noise in the oceans. Technologist and water freak XVelastín presents a human-computer duet of stories from the sea with a fluid structure based on the calls of marine mammals. Unpredictable, moving and passionate, [whalesong] is a challenge to humanity’s violation of the natural world, a celebration of the planet’s diversity, and a playful exploration of our relationship with technology. The perfect show for those who hate plastic and love blowholes.

[whalesong] was developed with the support of Watershed and MAYK's Winter Residency programme 2020, and Theatre Deli (London).
