Live Arts Miami

Live Arts Miami (LAM) and PearlDamour (PD) will collaborate to create a dynamic 2-week engagement to premiere PD’s latest work, Ocean Filibuster in Miami. Linking below-the-surface mystery with above-the-surface climate issues, Ocean Filibuster puts audiences in the middle of a human/ocean showdown. Taking place in a future global senate chamber, a single performer embodies two rivals: Mr. Majority–who introduces a bill to end the ocean as we know it–and The Ocean, arriving in human form to filibuster the bill. Ocean Filibuster draws from myth, stand-up, and science plunging us into the most heated debate of our time. Together, LAM and PD will work to sow seeds of conversation and action around the work as widely as possible through community engagements. The goal is to create new pathways for audiences to engage in meaningful action around local and global environmental challenges.
