In the not-so-distant future, the world has been consumed by darkness. In this eerie world stand three cloaked figures, glowing in the darkness. They beckon you to come closer, and in a collective voice say to you: \u201cDo you remember when the sky was blue?\u201d This immersive web experience aims to deal with eco-grief and collective trauma during the Anthropocene. Through poetry, visuals and immersive sound, be guided through a journey exploring three ecosystems. You choose where to begin in this performance encouraging mindfulness practices. The performance is born out of an extended body of work called \u2018Sacred Body\u2019 which was an exploration of climate change and the body through the lens of queer ecology. The virtual experience premiered online in July 2021 with the National Women\u2019s Theatre Festival (US) in their summer WTFRINGE21 festival, and in September 2021 with Burning Man\u2019s Sparkleverse online.<\/p>\n
