21 - 22 July at Cambridge Junction, UK
Join us to imagine our way out of the climate crisis and into a new future
We’ve been dreaming our way out of the climate crisis – and now we’ve made a show: watch us spar, flirt, fight, argue, laugh and cry our way towards imagining the world(s) we want to live in. 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 meglomaniacal, but defiantly hopeful take on global transformation.
The live show happened at the Cambridge Junction on 21 & 22 July 2021.

research & development
This live performance is the culmination of a two-year process of ‘research-in-public’ throughout which METIS’ artistic director Zoë Svendsen and her team have gathered different voices and contributions. These have informed the various iterations of the project along the way.
