What does a fish think about the future of humanity? 

A one-woman-electro-opera on Earth, nature, loneliness and connection. 

The Gaia Hypothesis is a guided meditation, a theatrical fantasy, a philosophical experiment and a deeply personal essay all at once. Lindertje Mans transforms into a deep-sea fish, a space shuttle and a human cell in an attempt to feel connected to the whole system.

These three characters share their visions on humanity, told through compelling synthpop songs. A tantalising onewoman electro-opera with seductive songs, mesmerising costumes and unexpected transformations. A musical, visual and emotional spectacle. A search for a new relationship between humankind and its surroundings.

The Gaia Hypothesis was formulated in 1969 by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis. It imagines the earth as a self-regulating system, in which all life and matter are inextricably connected. If we are all part of the same system, maybe we should ask other parts of this system what to do?
