What's it about

A Citizen Assembly is a participatory work without actors in which the audience embodies multiple voices —scientists, skeptics, agnostics and activists—to collectively reflect on the climate emergency. Each spectator receives a script upon arrival and chooses in real time whether to participate by playing a character; at the end of the third act, the real assembly takes the floor in a guided debate space. The piece, presented with the support of Here & Now, proposes a sustainable and community-based model of circulation and premieres in Spanish in these two performances.
