Experience the Soundtrack of the Plastic Age at COP31

An immersive audiovisual performance and concert that transforms plastic waste into music, sparking dialogue, inspiring action, and reimagining our relationship with the materials we leave behind.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

A Surreal World of
Plastic Waste

Combining live music, visual storytelling, and environmental awareness, the performance invites audiences to experience plastic not as waste, but as a reflection of our relationship with the planet.

Follow the journey from concept to impact, as Soundtrack of the Plastic Age comes to life before, during, and beyond COP31.

Together, the teams coordinate venues, logistics, communications, and local engagement to ensure every performance reaches the right audience.

  • The creative team develops new instruments from discarded plastic while the production team prepares technical requirements, stage design, scheduling, and operational planning for each activation.

  • During COP31, audiences encounter immersive performances, artist talks, workshops, and interactive experiences that transform discarded plastic into music and meaningful conversations about climate action.

  • Every stage of the project is professionally documented through photography, interviews, video production, and short-form digital content. These stories extend the project's reach beyond the live experience and create lasting visibility for partners.

  • The relationships, media assets, and collaborations established during COP31 provide a foundation for future cultural projects, new performances, and international partnerships.
