It's 2018: a police officer arrives at Meera's coral laboratory. Meera is interrogated about Ashleigh Richardson, a 13-year-old girl who went missing in 1995.
It's 1995: Meera is eleven. It’s her first sleepover with her best friends, Lily and Shaun. Cassette recordings from the radio and Sega Mega Drive distract them from theories about Ashleigh’s disappearance. Outside, on the coral reef, police divers are on a search- and-rescue mission by torchlight.
At the crossroads of contemporary performance and cutting-edge tech, FROGMAN is a coming-of-age thriller exploring the fragility of the childhood imagination, experienced through live theatre and a 360 degree VR environment - featuring virtual reality filmed in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.
