Through Fish Eyes is a unique performance that utilizes dance, to create awareness and evoke empathy in audiences about the dwindling marine ecosystems and waterways.
This art - science dance work follows the relationship between mankind and the ocean, starting in a time when humans lived in harmony with nature and ending with the current fragmented world. It brings a voice to water which is all around us in so many forms. The once abundant and thriving ocean has been ravaged by humans. The relationship between man and water is no longer sacred and the damage is done. Humanity is the hand that has destroyed, but can it now be the hand of change.
