Synopsis

Imagine a possible future; insects rule the earth. On the crumbling steps of the Paris Opera House, a curious collective of bugzzz find a copy of Puccini’s Tosca. Enthralled by the mystical symbols, but bewildered by the emotions, they risk everything to find some value in the buried and forbidden human legacy.

Bugs were the first life form to crawl out of the primordial ‘soup of creation’ on to dry land. As humans continue to forge a path to what soon may become an uninhabitable planet, many believe insects will be last surviving life form. Their ability to adapt rapidly to climate change, and survive despite ever-diminishing resources, ensures they will be around long after the last mammal expires. (outoftheboxproductions.ca)
