TRASH POP BUTTERFLIES, DANCE DANCE PARADISE

A clock turns backwards. A baby has lasers for eyes. A talking butterfly materialises in midair.

Trash Pop Butterflies, Dance Dance Paradise (TPBDDP) follows three young anarchists - Kitty, Moon & Pepper - seeking a revolution in the face of climate catastrophe. Part theatre, contemporary dance, and Riot Grrrl fanzine come to life; Maki Morita’s anarchic and experimental work is about what it might take to create something beautiful and new out of ecological collapse. 

​

TPBDDP was part of the 2022 Midsumma Festival but due to Omicron, the team had to cancel the live season and pivot to a digital outcome. The production is available for viewing upon request.
