Edinburgh International Festival: Figures in Extinction

13-29 Nicolson Street , Edinburgh, EH8 9FT

Description

Dance and theatre legends Crystal Pite and Simon McBurney unite with Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) to confront the climate crisis through spellbinding movement and sound.

We live in an age of disconnection – from the natural world and one another. Can we name what we’re losing? What does it mean to bear witness to a destruction we both cause and endure?
