“Our house is still on fire” Greta Thunberg
Cinematic | Interactive | Choose Your Own Adventure | Performance
How can we be agents of change? Maybe by imagining a future we can make it real. Maybe not.
Anthropocene: The Human Era dives into the mind of Megan, a young woman dreaming about her future in the wake of the climate emergency. Time is stretched and warped as she sits in her bathroom staring down at a pregnancy test, in a multiple-choice adventure story inspired by Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch and Gecko Theatre’s Time of your Life.
What does the future hold for us, our children and our planet?
Our Fate is in Your Hands.
Age Guideline 12+
Duration: 40mins with no interval
