Under Pressure

Under Pressure is a performance of climate realities and possibilities. A group of people embark on a journey to discover various truths about climate change, consumerism and culture. Along the way, some of them choose to change the way they live while others just choose to move on, unchanged. A montage of possibilities, absurd realities and dystopian worlds come alive in this devised performance that talks about out our carbon footprint, our consumption and our coming together. Will we as a species do what it takes to save ourselves? What will restore hope  that we will make it?
