      You Are My Zooplankton - Come Closer

      You Are My Zooplankton – Come Closer is an “underwater snack theater” employing a barren lakebed in the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to suggest an otherworldly underwater atmosphere. What started as the desire by my friends and I to create a dance club in the desert ended up becoming a sushi serving dinner theater that mixed Edo period Japan, caberet, children’s theater, and drag shows.
