    THIS IS WHAT UTOPIA LOOKS LIKE is a performance installation to radically imagine a liveable future. 

    From mushroom bricks and earthships, to teleportation in the blink of an eye, the utopian visions of teenagers meet the climate solutions of academics in this installation for climate hope. Together, we’ll visualise a liveable future. Only then can we fight for it.

    "A bit of euphoria" - Audience member

    Awareness of the climate crisis & its impacts has grown hugely in recent years. Yet the focus is on the horrors that unfold if we stick with the status quo. Unearthing these horrors isn’t igniting change fast enough; we think it’s time for a different approach focussed on hope, optimism and big ideas.

    “It is more important than ever to harness the optimism & imagination required to build the world we so urgently need. We need a new narrative, a new story for the future.” - Alice Aedy, Climate Storyteller 

    30 minute performances every hour. You can move freely through the space, take a seat with a performer to share a story, or listen to a calming meditation of ideas.
