Anthropocene

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.
