The Global Environmental Crisis is the first performance installment in the five-part "Containment Scenario" series exploring the discourse around climate change. It examines the intersections between nature and technology, humans and environment, and the often nebulous, yet highly complex interplay between cooperation and competition. Its multi-disciplinary approach combines stage direction, choreography, structured improvisation, and is developed in collaboration with the ensemble. The performance series is adapted from the book: Containment Scenario: DisLoInter MedTextId entCation: Horse Medicine (OBooks 2009).
