The Project

There is a great derangement in the response of the arts to one of mankind’s biggest crisis – Climate Change. The subject has been relegated to the realm of science and non-fiction, which are not easily accessible to a larger population. On the other hand, stories told through the medium of the theatre have the power to be seen, heard and inspire. Entity Theatre is collaborating with theatre companies across the globe on the Climate Change Theatre Action project (CCTA 2019). CCTA is a worldwide series of readings and performances of short climate change plays presented to coincide with the UN Santiago Climate Conference (COP25). It uses stories to bring communities together and encourage them to take local and global action on climate and the environment.
