FAULT LINES
Produced by Lîla Dance, supported by house
As our planet’s voice gets louder, are we ready to listen?
Fault Lines pulls at the tension in our relationship with nature. Our constant pursuit of progress increasing the speed of life has left us out of sync with the natural world.
A scorched earth, from the rubble and the ruin the survivors emerge. A new world, a second chance. Within changing landscapes created from striking digital illustrations and evocative music, our survivors navigate the world, racing towards an unknown future.
Fault Lines explores the environmental damage we’ve inflicted but asks what happens when we stand together with hope? What will that take?
New writing by Nick Walker (award winning writer, BBC) gives voice to both the existential panic, alongside the everyday problem solving needed to live on a hotter, more crowded, and less predictable planet.
With an original sound score by Dougie Evans, the projection of digital imagery by Zach Walker (MakeAmplify) and digital moving illustrations by Courtney McCarthy, the natural world enters the space to create a rich sensory world for the performers.
Fault Lines refuses to lose hope, and offers an alternative view of the future in this sincere and well-crafted piece
