It is set on a faux beach indoors, in which 24 performers partake in commonplace beach activities while singing about the causes and physical impacts of climate change in solo arias and group harmonies. The performance was a popular attraction with long wait lines at the Biennale. Multiple reviewers considered Sun & Sea (Marina) a highlight of the overall exhibition and The Guardian included it among the best performances of the year.
