In a world where plastic can be anything, stand for anything, and replace anything, we are losing– or rather, forgetting– our organic place in the greater ecology of the universe.
As its toxicity becomes more and more pervasive, a new ecology emerges, and with it, a new mankind. What will it mean for man to exist in this world? How do we give the old world a proper burial? How do we mourn the loss of being?
Produced remotely during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, In Plastic is an episodic experimental audio experience that explores the future of our relationship with plastic: a world where our most elementally human feeling, love, is dimmed, distorted, and altered by a plastiphillic planet.
Starring Orsolya Szánthó and Attilio Rigotti
Written by Alejandro Mora

MAN373 and WOMAN10 walk in deep trenches of waste illuminated by dripping fluorescent chemicals.
A giant machine comes up from behind them, and jitters as it clumsily scrambles over the cliff. They move out of the way to evade it.
MAN373 and WOMAN10 are on a steep trash cliff, watching giant robots and machines romping free in the valley below.
