Siren Jones is a virtual meditation on the ways that mermaids and descendants of mermaids (and Olokún herself) are confronting the phenomena of evolutionary landfall, extinction, our massive pathological single use consumption, and the seemingly irreversible dilemma of massive plastics pollution in our planet’s oceans. 

This is a performance, dialogue, and information exchange around diverse issues of environmental collapse, climate change and the causal cycles of resource extraction economies, poverty, unchecked consumer privilege and the resulting and inevitable need for individual and collective stewardship of rapidly dissipating resources and bio-diversity, and climate justice planet-wide.

Siren Jones is also a mermaid descendant.  Like a lot of post-feminist tree-hugging hippie kids, she was born by the Pacific, and that natal-tidal waist belt keeps the keel of her hips ever listing towards the west, even though she lives like a mangrove root latched to the Florida peninsula.  Because of her heritage, she spent her formative years canoeing on Puget Sound, cutting her finger tips on clam digs, and sucking into her mouth the French kisses of a raw oysters shucked with a stolen hunting knife.  She takes her relationship to all sea creatures respectfully not-for-granted and understands that her bones were formed by their mineral meat, and that sea brine flows through her veins.  In all of our veins. The ocean—our ocean—is our planet’s amniotic fluid, it is mother-goddess of all all. 

That’s why Siren Jones needs you...

I mean, honestly…is this what you’d serve your mother?
