A performance installation to radically imagine a liveable future, presented by ShyBairn Theatre in partnership with the University of St Andrews.
About the event:
From mushroom bricks and earthships, to teleportation in the blink of an eye, the utopian dreams of teenagers meet the climate solutions of academics in this performance installation for climate hope. Together, we’ll visualise a liveable future. Only then can we fight for it.
"A bit of euphoria" - Audience member
Awareness of the climate crisis & its impacts has grown hugely in recent years. Yet the focus is on the horrors that unfold if we stick with the status quo. Unearthing these horrors isn’t igniting change fast enough; we think it’s time for a different approach focussed on hope, optimism and big ideas.
“It is more important than ever to harness the optimism & imagination required to build the world we so urgently need. We need a new narrative, a new story for the future.” - Alice Aedy, Climate Storyteller
Book a free ticket through the Eventbrite page. 30 minute performances. You can move freely through the space, take a seat with a performer to share a story, or listen to a calming meditation of ideas. The last performance will be followed by a post-show talk.
