Collectively created by graduate and undergraduate students through a series of devising labs, Anthropocene incorporates innovative media design, dance, movement, text, sound and image into a powerful portrait of our world out of balance. Its non-traditional and non-linear approach to storytelling offers flashes of characters within a mosaic of various worlds throughout history: the Silk Road, the Industrial Revolution, 1950s America to present day. Anthropocene tells a story of the escalation of consumption and how we are hurtling towards an unsustainable future.
Below is a list of the episodes that comprise the performance. Each of these episodes is informed by deep dramaturgical research, which you can view on the Anthropocene Dramaturgical Research Site.
