About the Show
Performances in The Studio in The Attic at The Tank. About The Ruins:
After the climate disaster has led to the wealthy colonizing Mars, the working class are left to fend for themselves on a post-apocalyptic Earth. With most of the human population dead, a small number of survivors are left scattered in the remains of the Earth: The Ruins.
After struggling for too long, a small community of survivors is planning to trip on psilocybin mushrooms before ending their own lives, but their plan is interrupted when an outsider arrives. Can she convince them to stay, to rebuild and start again? Or will she join them?
The Ruins explores living in the results of the climate crisis and the cost to humanity that comes with that, as well as some things that will never change: the grief when you lose a loved one, struggles with mental illness, forming community with those you’ve found, and the yearning to do better, to make a better world than those who came before you.
