The Squonk Astro-ramanauts believe that the recent UFO crashes in the region have been a plea for first contact. They also believe that many of our greatest inventions, like the pyramids, zippers and TV remote controls, were the gifts of our extra-terrestrial friends.
To help them send their message to the cosmos, the Squonkers will build a 40′ radio telescope dish mounted to scaffold towers, tuned to the galactic frequency of B-flat. Rising in scissor lift platforms and cherry pickers, they will compose a proud message from our species, power up and transmit.
Squonk Opera is a group of interdisciplinary performing artists formed in 1992. The group has performed in over 250 venues around the world including a run of Bigsmörgåsbørdwünderwerk on Broadway and as a contestant on America’s Got Talent.
