During Melbourne Fringe 2019, in the Bluestone Church Art Space, we took a trip to the Anthropocene

“The surreal, towering giant puppets that glide across the stage are grotesque in the original sense: stretched from our organic concept of human to something with only the uncanny remaining, the end result of destructive transformation. There are no tech-future solutions here, no solar panels to save these shadows of Adam and Eve.”

- Theatrepeople

In the time of arts funding cuts and a planetary focus on mass production and exploitation, GSP aimed to project and amplify our emotions through the four horsemen of the apocalypse. We wanted to bring the feeling of dread to all those who haven’t grown up during the climate crisis. We reflect the alien experience of our queer bodies in the present for-profit destruction of our future by those who won’t be there to experience it. We create characters that have been informed by our generational experience. We have only ever lived in unsettled times; As a generation, we have never known the world to not be at war. War within ourselves, in our homes, in our media. We build the figures of the times, our creatures of the Anthropocene.
