International Human Rights Art Festival Theatre: PLUTO (No Longer a Play) by Superhero Clubhouse Superhero Clubhouse
About This Show
Superhero Clubhouse, a New York-based collective of artists and scientists working at the intersection of environmentalism and theater, will present a reading of PLUTO (no longer a play), an allegory on mass extinction. Three humans discover the remains of a lost play about a rapidly changing world. Facing similar threats, they attempt to reenact their findings, searching for hope among the bones.
Superhero Clubhouse creates fictional performances rooted in complex environmental questions, practices ecological production, and collaborates across disciplines and communities to enact a thriving society. Their work is rooted in the belief that theater is an essential tool for evolving our consciousness in the face of global environmental crises.
