Anthropocene

Event description

  • Arts and entertainment
  • Open to the public
  • Sustainability

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.

This project was made possible with seed grant funding from Seize the Moment (Leonardo + ASU Humanities Lab + the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Lab) and an Institute for Humanities Research and Herberger Institute Seed Grant.
