Wonderful Thoughts Nick Mecikalski

About This Show

Dodo, a human, arrives in the Siberian wilderness after a long barefoot journey across the Northern Hemisphere. So remorseful for their complicity in humankind’s ecological destruction of the planet, Dodo has isolated themself from the rest of their species, intent on transforming into a different kind of animal altogether. With only days left before an environmental apocalypse, Dodo aims to die a victim of the end of the world rather than the cause of it…but humanness is no simple thing to shed.
