Or heard there was going to be a little rain and then had your roof cave in? Climate change puts us in a whole new world, literally. This performance of 7 scenes from outer space to under an elephant’s backside and beyond, mixed with interviews from digruntled renewable energy experts and the youth we’re waiting on to save everything will open your eyes, break your heart, and put you on your toes for what you can be doing at the most important moment in human history.
