Commissioned for Climate Change Theatre Action
2017 – Where is the Hope?
“
For the white rhino! Applause!
”

A lone actor talks to the audience, urging them to applaud for various achievements related to climate change. The actor then moves from positive achievements to more dubious ones, making the act of applauding increasingly uncomfortable. Grasping at straws, they eventually come up with ridiculous examples to reassure themselves that they are doing their part in addressing climate issues.
