No Planet B

UK Premiere at the New Nordics Festival

Two women lead a performance lecture on climate change to brazenly inform us about the current situation of our planet. They embark on a frantic journey to solve the crisis once and for all. Listing the facts and statistics of what is happening to our planet – and expressing their concerns for their children, families and jobs – they try to find a solution here and now, with you, the audience. But as the information becomes more and more overwhelming, and the solutions seem further and further away, the two women spiral into absurdity in search for a plan(net) B.

No Planet B is a dark comedy about the state of the climate crisis and where we as individuals fit into it all.

We are in an oasis.
Enjoy it. Breathe.
Our little globe. A magical breathing hole in the universe. The weather.
Life.

Is it time?
It's time. Let's bar the doors.
