Through theatre, we can engage with the major issues of the day.
00:28
We're looking particularly for a way in which this very central event in our lives,
00:36
climate change, can be expressed not in scientific terms. We need to know the science,
00:42
but the science doesn't move people, the science doesn't cause people to
00:46
take action to protect themselves. What we think we might be able to do is allow people
00:52
to engage emotionally with what is already happening all over the planet.
01:17
There is a public company in South Africa called Ukwanda. The designs are theirs
01:22
and there's been a group of our technical arts for theatre and performance students
01:26
who have been taking the ideas and taking the designs and making them and developing
01:33
the making process as we've been going through the term.
01:41
It's nice to be collaborating with people and to be part of this because it's a big global project
01:49
traveling all over the world. I've been making everything here from the start of it like the
01:56
bones, the structure, to the outside where you put the skin on top of it and the horns, the heads,
02:03
everything, the joints all together basically.
02:06
It's important for the conversation, humbly, right? I don't know if what we add to the
02:12
conversation will change the world, most probably it won't, it doesn't matter. I think the problem
02:17
is not lack of knowledge. I think the problem is we know so much we're becoming desperate,
02:24
we're becoming defeated, but we need to be able to say, okay, this is what I want to do,
02:32
defeated, but we need a good reminder of how beautiful nature is.
