Cygnet Theatre brings to life short climate stories from We Still Have a Chance anthology in English and Arabic in the lead up to COP27 Climate Change Conference in Egypt in November 2022. The stories thread together the themes of ‘water’, ‘food’, and ‘adaptation’ and were co-created by climate scientists, activists, health professionals, writers, artists and translators from Egypt and Exeter.
Set against the backdrop of a contemporary Egyptian tapestry from RAMM’s collection, speakers from the University of Exeter, Met Office and RAMM will engage with the audience to explore how facts, findings, and emotions offer hope and help catalyse positive solutions to safeguard our planet.
The evening will open with a paid bar followed by Cygnet Theatre performance and will conclude with a conversation with the live audience.
Cost: Free
