A NIGHT AT THE END OF THE WORLD
November 2019, The Bunker, Copenhagen
An immersive re-telling of Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, set in 2040 post climate disaster. The play was completely sold out and ran for a week in an underground bunker in Copenhagen.
The year is 2040. Denmark has been destroyed by a series of devastating floods brought on by climate change. Those who remain live alone, cut off from all human connection. One man, aging in solitude, clings to all he has left: memories of the old world, stark against this bleak and terrifying present. The play offers a human angle to the growing global climate crisis, exploring how our actions and their consequences shape our future.
