“Humor, emotion, and storytelling verve.”
“The stunningingly original theatrical work”
The year is 2555: large swaths of earth’s surface are considered dead zones, and mass extinction has begun. There is a war (there is always a war), and as both sides grow desperate, their thirst for destruction becomes more and more volatile.
An improbable meeting between an orphaned boy and a young girl threatens to tip the balance for good, but in whose favor, and at what cost? A mysterious man in a homemade fox costume has seen this all before, has lived this tragedy too many times already. But this time – he is determined – it will be different.
“A futuristic fable that is as suspenseful as it is sobering.”
“A dizzying visual feast”
“Stunning... revels in the extraordinary.”
