2022 Science in Theatre Festival: Can’t Make This Sh*t Up

The Tank, New York City

Can’t Make This Sh*t Up! 

The year is 2030. The global average temperature has reached 1.5 °Celsius and cannot afford to rise any higher. A small urban commune, known once as the Scarborough 11, is building a Biological Anaerobic Digestion System (BADS) in their backyard and the NIMBY neighbors are out of their minds with fearful rage. Can the city's zoning board handle this catastrophic kerfuffle, or is this matter of global conscience set for a bigger stage?

 

The play will be followed by a science presentation by Jaeweon Cho about transforming one university campus sewage into electrical power and its own ecological currency (UNIST)
