Climate Cabaret

Produced by the National Youth Theatre, Climate Cabaret is youth-led project seeking to amplify young people’s voices and explore intersectionality in relation to the climate emergency.

 

The piece interrogates young people’s competing responses of panic and apathy in the face of the climate crisis with wit, the spoken word and a little magic. The project is underpinned by academic research from University of Hull into young people’s eco-anxiety about the impact of climate change.
