Commissioned by Norwich Theatre, supported by Jacksons Lane and Nick Barnes Puppets

​

With over 100 million pieces of space junk orbiting the planet, Space Junk tells a story of love, loss, new frontiers, the destructive power of human carelessness and our constructive capacity for hope and compassion. 

Inspired by the Cosmos Archeology project at EPFL, Space Junk  tells the story of a space suit pushed out into space on an ephemeral orbit of the earth with a radio transmitter, known as SuitSat. Floating through space it becomes a humanoid piece of space junk.

On earth, Jocelyn, our human protagonist has just been through a heart wrenching separation. Through the radio transmitter they communicate and form a friendship. On stage we see a life size puppeteered space suit, and our protagonist is embodied by a dance and aerial artist.
