Duke Arts Presents 2023-24 Season

Ocean Filibuster: a genre-crashing music theater experience set in a future Global Senate.

When "Mr. Majority" proposes a bill to end the ocean as we know it, The Ocean arrives in human form to defend itself. Obie Award-winner Jenn Kidwell, playing both roles, is joined by an "ocean choir" of local actors singing an urgent question: Can humans realize that we are Ocean, before it's too late?

Ocean Filibuster uses spectacle, humor, participation and immersive performance to activate awareness and engagement in science and climate justice. This performance in two-acts includes an extended intermission featuring "mini-labs" - participatory exhibitions that explore topics related to climate change.
