Anna Mendelssohn / Cry Me A River
Liverpool, United Kingdom
25 - 27 Sep '10
CRY ME A RIVER a solo-climate-summit.
Everything is so much more complicated than you think.
There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make.
At some point I began to cry. And that went on for many months.
Because how do you refreeze the ice up there? It just can’t be done.
The piece Cry Me A River deals with the topic of climate change, of melting ice. It plays with the monologue format, focusing in on the complexity of climate change communication, the multiplicity of talking heads, voices, opinions and rhetorics. Moreover it searches for a possible personal approach within this discourse, asking where is my voice in all this?
