Description:

Creators/Performers - Sarah Rose Graber & Ruxy Santir
Directed by Tim Licata
Originally produced by Scissor Kick 
 
Two lively quirky best friends, Riri and Moku, are confined to a barrel sitting on top of an
island of rubbish. They love finding treasures in the vast waste that surrounds them and
making up their own world of adventure and imagination. Every little discarded thing can
be transformed into a magical trinket that starts a fun game. But being in tight quarters
means they face new challenges, like having to ration their food and learning to coexist.

Danger arises when the waste around them continues to pile higher and threatens to
cover them altogether.
 
By looking at mass consumerism and the destructive effects (non bio-degradable)
waste has on our environment, this Beckett-meets-Pixar show poses questions about
the trash we produce and invokes awareness and environmental activism.
 
Suggested for ages 5-10.
Running time is 45 minutes.
