Gate Artistic Lead Atri Banerjee directs the European premiere of David Finnigan’s Scenes from the Climate Era. Four performers take us through a dizzying series of vignettes, packed with humour and heart, all tackling the biggest story of our time.

Stage one: denial.
Stage two: optimism. Solutions.
Stage three: grief. Anger. Despair.

Go through the stages, and then make a decision.

From genetically modified mice to massive Antarctic flood barriers; from community halls in Snowdonia to nightclubs on the outskirts of Beijing. Scientists, activists, friends around dinner tables; yesterday, tomorrow, today.

An unflinchingly raw, funny and honest look at how the conversations around the climate crisis shape our everyday lives, our communities and the biological world around us.
