2050: Shapes of Trees

Freiburg Scientific Theatre in English language

Acting for Sustainability

We take discussion of sustainability to a new level by combining performance with complex scientific knowledge.

Drawing from our interdisciplinary expertise and experience in environmental studies and governance we offer tailored performances to fit the thematic contents of your sustainability event.

Join us on an entertaining journey into the forest of the future:
It’s the year 2050 and the Black Forest is still a Sehnsuchtsort – a place of aspiration. Two friends, bored of mundane city life, enter it searching for adventure. On their way, they encounter both conserved, natural woods and straight, commercial plantations. As they learn along the way, the future of the Black Forest remains contested.

What? A 30-minute performance, followed by a discussion

We are a multicultural team of young experts in environmental studies and governance. We use theatre to portray sustainability debates in an engaging and entertaining manner. The core of our work is a holistic approach inspired by our diverse experience in sustainability studies, environmental engineering, law, education, forestry, policy, development aid, and research in natural and social science.

We offer tailored performances for academic conferences, public events, seminars and festivals. By dealing with complex scientific and policy issues with humour and drama, we are able to go beyond the conventional conference procedure, making your sustainability event a memorable experience for participants
