Discardia – A Theatrical Trash Opera

In a modern world where 18 billion pounds of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year from coastal regions creating mile-long islands of plastic in the Pacific Ocean, LadyBEAST Productions brings you “Discardia,” a glimpse of survival within a plastic world.

“Discardia” is a performance that is a visual commentary on the current issues of our “discard culture” and asks the audience to see trash and plastics in a new light. This physical theatre, dance and contemporary circus narrative is supported with an original score, created by Bemya Nyhm, using ordinary objects you would find in your recycling bin. “Discardia” is a trash opera that hopes to inspire its audience to walk away with the motivation to be part of the change that could change the future of our planet.
