‘While out there the fiction rages, we are gathering to write ourselves a new reality...'

We don’t have any answers but we can’t sit back and let others keep writing a dystopian future for us: join us in an escapist, fantasy-filled, sometimes megalomaniacal, but defiantly hopeful take on global transformation.

A process of ‘research-in-public’ in which METIS’ artistic director Zoë Svendsen and her team have gathered different voices and conversations which have informed different iterations of the project along the way.

Performed and devised by: Anna-Maria Nabirye, Charlie Folorunsho, Jess Mabel Jones, Shôn Dale-Jones, Francesca Henry, Bianca Stephens, Stefanie Mueller & Tommy Ross-Williams.

Directed/designed by Zoë Svendsen with Simon Daw (set/video), Nao Nagai (lighting), Catherine Hawthorn (sound) & John Macedo (film).

With associates: Carolyn Downing, Lucy Wray, Rob Awosusi and Andrea Ling

Commissioned by Junction through Season for Change, a UK-wide cultural programme inspiring urgent and inclusive action on climate change led by Artsadmin and Julie’s Bicycle.
