Big Things is a meditation on humanity’s inescapable drive to make something bigger ourselves. Set in a historic, decommissioned shipyard, Big Things explodes in color, music, and the chaotic energy of many bodies clicking together to build something massive. Big Things wonders if we will ever be able to stop making big things, and if our old bones will even remember what to do with themselves when we let them rest. When the individual sacrifices we make within ourselves in the name of progress outweigh the singular goal, when making the Big Thing creates the very problem that the Big Thing is supposed to solve - is the only option for Mother Nature to step in and stop the cycle?
