«Plankton»

«Plankton» is the story of four people who, for different reasons, have decided to withdraw from society and live in solitude. Their independent lives and connections to their surroundings unfold in individual, intimate portraits. The four stories develop side by side, occasionally overlapping, interweaving in sound and scenery, or remaining completely isolated in solitude. The secluded worlds become eerie spaces in which memories and fantasies merge. With «Plankton», Léo Collin and Kapitolina Tsvetkova create a playful and humorous musical theatre thought experiment about digital life, love, social systems and our fragile relationship with ourselves and the nature that surrounds us.

«Plankton» is a co-production by Gare du Nord and kollektiv international totem.
