This musical aims to raise the awareness of children, youngsters and adults regarding how the objects that surround us are made and the importance of starting to take responsibility for the waste we create, especially the electronic kind. Divided into 16 songs, with eight actors on stage and a set created from electronic items no longer in use, the show tackles the different issues related to producing and consuming products (for example, how raw materials are extracted, planned obsolescence, the toxic parts of batteries, landfills and garbage that is burnt).
