SHOW
Soundtrack of the Plastic Age
Translating a soundtrack to a live experience means thinking of how to make the most of the space. During the performance 3D visuals of a garbage dump in an apocalyptic world are shown, a fantasy universe littered with plastic waste collected from every possible place. In this surreal world, percussionists play a unique array of homemade instruments, specifically created for the performance from actual plastic waste.
The performance Soundtrack of the Plastic Age is a statement against disposable culture and for a cleaner world with extraordinary original music!
A voyage through the Plastic Age: Soundtrack of the Plastic Age is a trip full of rousing percussion compositions and soundscapes.

As such, Soundtrack of the Plastic Age is an audiovisual reflection of the time we live in today: the plastic age. Geologists also call this the ‘Plasticene’, a geological period in which we find plastic as a ‘raw material’ in the soil. Rogier De Nijs Group invites you to join us on a voyage to environmental hot spots where the major effects of the Plastic Age can best be seen. The use of video projections creates a 3D image on stage that pulls the audience even closer in for a great effect, submerged in rousing percussion compositions and original soundscapes.
The Music
The instrumental compositions are of a narrative nature and try to capture your imagination. The titles reflect the expressions of the compositions: ‘Lost in Excess’, ‘Plastic Eruption’, ‘Quest for Perspective’, ‘Solemn Walk’; each one represents different perspectives of the Plastic Age. The music has been described as energetic and compelling, but also fragile and refined.
