A story of isolation, sacrifice and the climate crisis by 11-time Fringe Festival Award-winner Patrick Livesey (DIRT, Naomi).
An activist sets themself on fire. What drove them to such an act?
Recipient of 11 Fringe Festival Awards, Patrick Livesey returns to Melbourne Fringe in this timely and confronting new solo work under the direction of Green Room Award-winner Benjamin Nichol (SIRENS, Kerosene).
I hope this means something ventures beyond the science of the climate crisis to uncover a mind undone by it. Following award-winning turns in DIRT and Naomi, Livesey dives beneath the banal to bring you a visceral, vulnerable and vital reflection on the weight of a dying planet on the human soul.
Patrick says, ‘This is the biggest and somehow the most personal story I’ve ever written. Join me this October to find out how I weave the recollections of those who know the climate crisis best, within an intimate portrait of grief and heartbreak.’
