A Cultural Response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency
Join us online on the 12th of April in this global live reading of
letters from humans to the Earth, coinciding with the Global Youth
Strike for Climate and as part of the lead up to Extinction
Rebellion’s International Rebellion.
When: Friday 12 April, 9pm - 11pm CET. Find your local time here
<https://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_DE.aspx?y=2019&mo=4&d=12&h=21&mn=0>.
Where: There will be a link to the live stage here
<https://upstage.org.nz/?event=letters-to-the-earth>, shortly before
the performance begins.
We are facing an unprecedented global emergency, the planet is in
crisis and we are in the midst of a mass extinction event. Scientists
believe we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. Carbon
emissions and temperatures keep rising; ecological collapse has begun.
On this course we are likely to see abrupt and irreversible
devastation. The time for denial is over – we know the truth about
climate change. It is time to act.
Letters to the Earth <https://www.letterstotheearth.com/> is a joint
day of action on Friday 12 April 2019: letters written by people from
around the world will be read out at theatres, arts venues, community
spaces around the UK, and online in UpStage. The pieces will then be
made rights free and available for anyone to download and present
anywhere in the world from 15th – 28th April, coinciding with the
International Extinction Rebellion <https://rebellion.earth/> and
School Strike For Climate. These pieces could be taken up to be
presented and performed globally, when hundreds of thousands of people
will be taking to the streets worldwide to demand that governments
tell the truth about climate collapse and act accordingly.
The readings in UpStage will be performed by Clara Gomes, Miljana
Perić, Katarina Djordjević Urosević, Lyn Cunningham, Suzon Fuks and
Helen Varley Jamieson.
Please remember: UpStage does not work on tablets or smartphones as it
requires Flash to deliver everything to the browser. We are working on
a new platform that doesn’t require Flash, but it takes time and
money! (If you can help us, please donate to UpStage
