A climate change, hopepunk comedy show, created by scientists, comedians and… you!
We Built This City on Rock and Coal brings scientists and theatre-makers to the rural west of Ireland for a co-created comedy show driven by hopepunk, climate research, music, and what matters most to the local community. It’s a show that’s fun for you, and good for the planet! They believe that every individual and their community can be part of a solution to climate change.
The evening starts with an informal climate conversation, followed by a show that holds space for audience members to speak up about the climate concerns that matter most them. At the start of the show, we collect written answers from the audience to questions about the climate crisis. Our international improvisation experts will then use these source materials to inspire scenes, songs and sketches that will be unique to our Crossmolina show and the community there.
We Built This City on Rock and Coal is funded through the Research Ireland Discover programme. The project is also supported by iCRAG, the Research Ireland Centre in Applied Geosciences hosted at University College Dublin, and the University of Galway.
