The Invention of Seeds

SYNOPSIS
David and his child Jessie 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, David knows something can’t be right. THE INVENTION OF SEEDS is a multidisciplinary performance work (puppetry! sculpture! theatre!) that follows the battle of small farmers against giant seed corporations over whether life itself is invent-able.
