A groundbreaking call for climate justice drawing on opera, dance, spoken word, immersive sound and film.

This isn’t a story about plastic straws or bags for life, this is the tale of how we got to here, this is ‘what the dog said to the harvest’.

Directed and composed by Jasmin Kent Rodgman, and written and co-directed by lisa minerva luxx, the work has been devised through rigorous research and the contribution of activists and grassroots networks across Syria, Lebanon and the UK.
