Inspired by Requiem for a Reef (2024), The Climate Project is an original work of physical theatre that explores the urgent issue of climate change in the Sonoran Desert and beyond. Devised by TFTV students together with faculty member Rick Wamer, The Climate Project uses the “theatre of metamorphosis” approach – a movement-based form of physical theatre – to reflect on environmental transformation and human impact. The production features a twenty-member ensemble whose performance is the result of a year’s worth of collaborative research and creative exploration.

An ASL Interpreter will be present for the pre-show announcement and the post-show speech on Friday, September 26, and the evening performance on Saturday, September 27.
