This Is What Utopia Looks Like: a performance installation Free
Visit the Boiler House in the St Andrews Botanic Garden for a performance installation that radically imagines a liveable future, presented by ShyBairn Theatre.
From mushroom bricks and earthships, to teleportation in the blink of an eye, the utopian dreams of teenagers meet the climate solutions of academics in this performance installation for climate hope, which was the recipient of Camden People's Theatre's Outside The Box Commission and is supported by the University's Impact and Innovation Fund and The Royal Victoria Hall Foundation.
There will be 30-minute performances every hour. There will also be a post-show talk from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.
How to book
Book a ticket for one of the performances through Eventbrite. You can move freely through the space, take a seat with a performer to share a story, or listen to a calming meditation of ideas.
