The Invention of Seeds

BY Annalisa Dias | DIRECTED BY Natsu Onoda Power

JAN 21 at 7PM | Atlas Performing Arts Center

Jessie and their dad David run a small family farm in rural Indiana. When a private investigator hired by the multinational seed corporation iGrow knocks on their door demanding information, Jessie and David know something can’t be right. The Invention of Seeds is a multidisciplinary performance work of puppetry, sculpture, and theater that follows the battle of small farmers against giant seed corporations over whether life itself is invent-able.
