At times they whisper to one another. It is funny and magical. But there are no human figures performing in their little theatre. They show what happens when humans are no longer there.

In the fantastic, often wordless performances of Plankton, humans never play the leading role. Actors are there to move objects and shift pieces of scenery. In this way, theatre‑makers Hendrik Kegels and Sonja van Ojen reveal the importance of things and of the natural world around us.

Now they leap centuries ahead in time — in large steps yet gradually, and as always beautifully and meticulously designed.
