And now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Gasteropods and Trilobites, please put your flippers or feelers or whatever else you might be made up of together, and give a big Devonian period welcome to the one, the only, the GOGO FISH!
Gogo Fish recreates the world of the Placoderms, evolutionary ancestors of humans that lived 375 million years ago in North Western Australia. Damon Lockwood (Pri-mates, Muttaburrasaurus and Nature as Explained by Theatre) combines comedy with natural science documentary, taking us on a palaeontologic adventure through the Devonian swamps of the Kimberley.
Moving back through the ages using a time-travelling fish club (the harder you hit, the further you go), we arrive at an evolutionary turning point: swamp fish are developing the bone structures of arms and legs. Will the Placoderms realise that to be a 'fish out of water' IS progress?
Gogo Fish is a Western Australian story with international significance, a comedy based on scientific fact.
