Have You Ever Felt Overwhelmed?
The Words of Climate Scientists, Activists and Journalists.

A sound performance and mass reading that probes how individuals who work daily on the issue of climate change reconcile the magnitude of the crisis to the reality of their individual lives. Drawn from interviews with climate physicists, economists, activists and journalists the work generates a chorus of grief and ambition that coalesces into a call for greater reflection on the drivers of the climate crisis along with action to diminish its danger.
