About this event
This film contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. “Why don’t we talk about it?” An urgent question and an invitation offered by Can I Live? : a vital digital performance about the climate catastrophe conceived, written and performed by BAFTA-nominated actor and activist Fehinti Balogun, who shares his personal journey into the biggest challenge of our times. Weaving his story with spoken word, rap, theatre, animation and the scientific facts, Fehinti charts a course through the fundamental issues underpinning the emergency, identifying the intimate relationship between the environmental crisis & the global struggle for social justice, and sharing how, as a young Black British man, he has found his place in the climate movement. In the face of a sense of helplessness about the climate catastrophe, Can I Live? is an outstretched hand, inviting audiences to recognise they are not alone – and that through understanding the issues and connecting with the many powerful activists around the globe driving change, we can find a sense of hope for the future. This screening is co-presented by Complicité and Fern Culture and will have an introduction. This screening is in association with Little Animals , running from Tue 18 - Sun 30 Aug at the Traverse Theatre A Complicité production in association with the Barbican, London, supported by Oxford Playhouse. Supported by Arts Council England and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (UK Branch).
