KidFEST: HUMAN — Nehprii Amenii
Guild Hall
“At the Bottom of the Ocean, where the darkness meets the stars, the Octopus will tell the story of a thing once called the human being…”
In a distant future where humans are gone, an octopus faces a powerful question: could it give one of its three hearts to help create a new kind of human—one that is kinder, more connected, and more in tune with the world?
Told through the windows of a sunken submarine, HUMAN invites audiences on an underwater journey filled with wonder, imagination, and discovery. Using striking visuals, inventive puppetry, dance, original music, and African Diasporic storytelling, the piece unfolds through the eyes of ocean creatures trying to understand who we once were—and who we might become.
HUMAN is a 60-minute interactive performance for the whole family, encouraging audiences of all ages to reflect on connection, care, and what it truly means to be human.
