SOLASTALGIA 🌿🔥
THREE SHOWS: 27 & 28 Feb @ 7.30pm & Sun 1st March @ 2pm
A new contemporary theatre work about climate grief – mourning the people and places we love as they change around us, inspired by Stephen Dupont's photo essay Are We Dead Yet – Part 1.
Through stunning images, live sound, film and performance, Solastalgia becomes a shared vigil, shifting the question from “How can we save ourselves?” to “What becomes possible when we turn toward one another?”.
Directed by Sam Chester as part of a five-week residency (Story Assembly) at Shark Island Kangaroo Valley, the work is a collaboration with nine remarkable theatre artists and composer Ekrem Eli Phoenix as well as design by Rhys Morris (with Mark Callanan), Matt Osborne and Harry Kielly.
Performers: Will Bastow, Lucinda Howes, Lauren McNaught, Tiernan Rennie, Shannon Ryan, Ekrem Eli Phoenix, Sarah Butler and Drew Longbottom.
