Description The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer is a multi award-winning one-man micro-epic puppet show that melds technology and multimedia into a touching story of enduring love and the end of the world.

The seas have risen, billions have died and those who are left live on farms atop skyscrapers, atop mountains. The scientists have tried everything. Floating islands sank, space probes found nothing, and the giant sponges, visible from the moon, are now rotting icons of failure. Now science and humanity are turning to the oceans themselves. A last ditch effort to save the human race requires journeying down through the mysterious depths of the deep blue sea to find a new place for us to live.

Alvin Sputnik, who has just lost his wife, accepts this perilous mission so that he may to follow her soul down to the underworld so that they can be together again once more.

Presented in South Korea as part of the Australia-Korea Year of Friendship. 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Australia and the Republic of Korea. In celebration of this significant milestone, 2011 has been designated the Australia-Korea Year of Friendship, which has comprised a wide range of arts and cultural, education and trade events aimed at deepening bilateral ties.
