BEARS // POWDER KEG
“The performances are totally committed throughout, and the design is great, particularly the costumes” - British Theatre Guide
BEARS is a self-destructive, visceral excavation of our role in climate change.
Creating the designs with the mindset of lowering the carbon footprint of theatre, the costumes were created with a mixture of hand woven 100% natural materials and are fully biodegradable. The set was built completely out of reused/recycled materials.
