High Water follows a consistently changing landscape of everyday objects built and transformed by the water immersing each tiny world. Every moment is an experiment. High Water is a peculiar and curious inquiry into buoyancy - a series of tests, misfires, and marvels. High Water is fun, goofy, and beautiful all at once. It is an epic record of civilizations and historic events masquerading as a cheap party trick.
The subtle themes of survival, environmental disaster, disdain for the powerful, and the futility of life are all present. This work is pushing our understanding of puppetry.

About Macromatter:
Macromatter takes seriously, but not too. Under this moniker, multidisciplinary maker and insatiable tinkerer Robin Leveroos creates scenographically-driven work incorporating live art, animation, and handmade objects.
Macromatter aims to strike imaginations and skew perceptions by exploring worlds where weight is given to the miniscule, the understated, and overlooked to uncover something recognizably human. With a rotating collective of artists, Macromatter creates original performances and collaborates in processes that encourage curiosity, discovery and play.
