The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik:
Deep Sea Explorer
Direct from critically acclaimed seasons at the New York International Fringe Festival and this year’s Sydney Festival comes the multi award winning Australian puppet show, The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer, making its Brisbane debut at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts from Tuesday 17 – Saturday 21 May 2011.

Creator and performer Tim Watts, who hails from Perth, says his one-man show melds mime, puppetry, live and recorded music and animation “in a touching story of enduring love and the end of the world”.
“The seas have risen, billions have died and those who are left live on farms atop skyscrapers, atop mountains. The scientists have tried everything.
“The fate of humanity and the earth as we know it lies with Alvin Sputnik who, having just lost his wife, accepts the perilous mission to journey to the mysterious depths of the deep blue sea to find a new place for us to live. This is also Alvin’s chance to follow his wife’s soul down to the underworld so that they can be together again once more.”
Tim Watts premiered The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer at Perth's Blue Room Theatre in June 2009.
The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer was created by Tim Watts in collaboration with Arielle Gray.
The Australian Government is proud to be associated with this tour through the national performing arts touring program, Playing Australia, which gives Australians across the country the opportunity to see some of our best performing arts. Tour coordination by Country Arts WA.
“an endearing Australian solo show told in stick-figure animation and puppetry… akin to a theatrical ‘Wall-E’"
– The 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
