A broken world. A wounded endling.
A disgraced forest scientist and a tech savvy teenager draw inspiration from the Popol Vuh to transform the world, using interspecies DNA and a stolen code from an app-in-development originally intended to strengthen the alliance of consumer capitalism and addiction.
Extinction feeds emergence. Minds change a bit.
This collaborative devised work reinterprets Henrik Ibsen’s The Wild Duck (1884), in the context of climate breakdown, platform capitalism, and our current geological era, the Anthropocene. Prefiguring possible ecospheric futures, the piece explores the challenges and opportunities of a family swept up by extractivist modernity whose past and resourcefulness might hold the key to new forms of multi-species kinship and flourishing.
