The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer melds technology and multimedia into a touching story of enduring love and survival. Created by Tim Watts, this solo performance employs a unique blend of mime, puppetry, live and recorded music, and live animation to present an exploration of the next and oldest frontier: the deep blue sea.

The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik has been compared to Pixar’s Wall-E for the stage. “Alvin Sputnik is an endearing Australian solo show…akin to a theatrical Wall-E,” wrote The New York Times.
