In a desperate attempt to save their world, two of our descendants from the year 2999 have travelled to our time, and enlisted the help of one of our oldest known ancestors, Lucy the Australopithecus. Their hope? To bring us into confrontation and connection with the often invisible network of relationships that shape us, and that will ultimately give us the capacity to respond generatively to the climate crisis. This evocative, interdisciplinary, audience immersive performance features a transforming set, live projections, puppetry, dance, sound and story to transport us across time, and into the deepest roots of the earth.

Part theatre, part ritual, part epic journey, the earth, that is sufficient is a contemplative and iterative performance project that conceptualizes theatre-making as an ecology, and asks audiences to consider the braided legacy of our past and the infinite possibilities we might stitch into a shared future. It takes place in three phases over the course of 2019, and was originally conceived by Welders Lead Producing Playwright and Director, Annalisa Dias.
