ARE YOU READY?

An uplifting mourning ritual in 5 acts

Climate change is now!

There is a profound difference between what we know and what we do.
 And when we act, what do we accomplish?

With a ritualistic performance in the marketplace, TheatreFragile lead us out of this contradictory position: Through song, dance, physical theater, and mask play. 5 performers invite the audience to live through denial, anger, negotiation, grief, and acceptance.

ARE YOU READY? is a joyful and hopeful performance that takes the audience along through the experience of loss to a communal kick-off to activate change.

Through vocal collages and song the voices of those who are committed to climate action or talk about their inner conflicts can be heard. The choir, which falls silent due Corona, finds ways to move and evoke despite the silence. The masks invoke and give tribute to the archetypal figures of Gaia and women from all continents who fight tirelessly for change.
