"That´s the Late-Night Show"
by Vitor Jatobá
How did you get here? Where are we going? Who’s deciding? Who’s made invisible? Whose future matters?
Heather Ackroyd, quoted in Lucy Neal, Playing for Time: Making Art as if the World Mattered (London: Oberon Books, 2015), 44.
This spring, a group of students from Thomas King’s Performing Climate Justice class will be presenting both a radio play and podcast on WBRS! The play is performed by Caleigh Abbe and Islay Morrison, directed by Arianna Jackson and Hedy Yang, sound designed by Jack Reass, and sound engineered by Alec Gallardo.
The play, titled “That’s The Late Show,” depicts a host of a late night show, Lucky Sinclaire, interviewing a best-selling author AI alpha beta pi 576. Their conversation is based on how society has improved its efforts to eliminate climate change, contributing to the demise of the importance of AI.
Following the airing of this play, the cast will deconstruct this play through their podcast episode, Grassroots Over Technology. The cast asserts the importance of engaging in grassroots activism to improve the health of the climate, as opposed to relying on grandiose technological solutions.
Finally, the cast offers an opportunity for you, the audience, to directly engage in a grassroots movement to decrease food waste on the Brandeis Campus by filling out a survey to better understand its causes.
