State of Emergency
As environmental and political events collide, a state of emergency is nigh. Who is prepared for rescue missions and basic survival if all you have is gaffa tape, a holey tarp and a crate?!

Performing artists, in collaboration with NSW SES volunteers, use roaming and interactive performance, choreography, text, and objects of rescue to create humorous, yet blatant expressions of the realities of the current climate emergency. Durational and interactive performance throughout the night culminate in an apocalyptic set piece taking over the skate-bowl. Through intervention on public space the work creates stark, playful and hopeful calls to wake up out of ‘business as usual’ and find the state of urgency we need to avert the climate crisis.
