Plays:
Waiting for Environman by Jaymes Sanchez
Directed by René Millán
Delves into the contrasting perspectives of several individuals gathered to provide feedback on a blockbuster superhero film centered around the climate crisis. The focus group dissects different versions of the movie’s portrayal of environmental devastation as they transform into the environmental superheroes of the movie. It becomes clear who the real villains are.
Let Us Sit Upon the Ground by Reynaldo Piniella
Directed by Leah Lowe
Takes place during a student sit-in. Protestors mourn the environmental changes they have experienced and confront the inflexibility of institutional authorities in the face of the climate crisis.
