Various found texts are combined to form a narrative of life on Planet Onion and their adventure into outer space. The found texts include George Orwell’s 1984, NASA astronomer Dr. Michelle Thaller’s video called “We are Dead Stars," and Gary Shteyngart’s NYT article titled “Out of My Mouth Comes Unimpeachable Manly Truth - What I learned from watching a week of Russian TV.” Existential pursuits and authoritarianism are humorously portrayed through absurd interactions of anthropomorphic onions.
