ATONAL Theatre Company – Sofia Marathaki
The Forest

What if humankindΆs ΅peacefulΆ co-existence with nature turns out to be one of the utopias of the 21st century? With the harrowing images of the Amazon rainforest wildfires and Australia bushfires still fresh in mind, Sofia Marathaki delivers a performance raising awareness of environmental issues, based on Annie ProulxΆs novel Barkskins (the author is perhaps most famous for her short story Brokeback Mountain). Fiction meets documentary theatre, with the dramaturgy encompassing audio-visual footage of interviews with scientists, foresters and biologists, comprising a comprehensive narrative about the history of forests.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, all performance dates are subject to change
