Motion Sickness
Internationally acclaimed physical theatre company, a2 - guide you through the potential cosmic ends of the universe.
This is an hour of urgent electronic music performed live by Toby Leman (Earl Green, HUMMUCIDE, Revulva), and a sharp new text written and performed by Ben Ashby. It's an exisistential crisis at the rave, it's a cathartic hour of fear, rage and hope, scored by an overwhleming and hypnotic AV design by Asha Barr.
Please take a second to think about the ever-expanding blackness of space, about the vastness of the deep ocean. Consider that human history is only 0.007% Of the earths history.
While we watch the rise of divisive, fascist policy at home, and genocidal war crimes overseas, scientists are predicting the end of the cosmos, and the end might be closer than you think. To be a tiny part of a massive universe is not the same as being insignificant.
