AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE STARRING JOHN GADEN and featuring Lucy Brownlie, Sasha Rose, Ellery Joyce, Matthew Simmons, Jacqueline Morrison and Heath Jelovic from Australian Theatre For Young People

2071 is a performance about climate change, created from the words of prestigious scientist, Professor Chris Rapley. This beautiful production fuses the facts of climate change and our planet's history of global warming with astounding 3D projections and an original music score. Theatre, science and art combine to imagine what the world might be like in the future. 

2071 perfectly frames the climate change facts and challenges within a beautifully structured and eloquent dramatic monologue. 

First produced by London’s Royal Court Theatre in 2014, the production received critical acclaim and was an immediate success with performances in Germany, Brussels and two seasons in London. 

The Australian production will feature state of the art projections by Joe Crossley (Vivid Sydney) and an original musical score by award-winning composer Andrée Greenwell (Gothic, Vivid 2015).

2071 is part of Seymour’s Great Ideas series which engages with significant issues of our time, provoking thought and public discourse around big contemporary questions. 

“2071 strikes me as pretty essential viewing if you want a sensible overview on what is happening to our planet” – Time Out UK
