Anthropocene

Devised by Rachel Bowditch, Karen Jean Martinson and ensemble

Collectively created by graduate and undergraduate students through a series of devising labs, "Anthropocene" incorporates innovative media design, dance, movement, text, sound and image into a powerful portrait of our world out of balance. Its non-traditional and non-linear approach to storytelling offers flashes of characters within a mosaic of various worlds throughout history: the Silk Road, the Industrial Revolution, 1950s America to present day. "Anthropocene" tells a story of the escalation of consumption and how we are hurtling towards an unsustainable future.

Content Transparency: This production includes apocalyptic content, nuclear disaster, an extinction event and the climate crisis. It also includes alarms, sirens and loud sounds.
