The ‘Scorched Earth Trilogy’ by consists of three short satirical opera films that are projected onto a large wall in a public space for an audience listening on headphones. You can immerse yourself briefly in a lush world of orchestral opera with musical moments that grab your attention, touch you and sweep you away. The works use biting Irish wit to reflect our broken relationship with the earth and the environment, highlighting climate change, environmental damage and consumer behaviour. And they are also unsparing in their criticism of the political situation in our Western democracies: ‘Trickle down Economics’ shows a pissing contest on the fringes of the World Economic Forum at Davos. Drunken politicians draw economic models on the wall in front of them – while relieving themselves like little boys. ‘Won´t bring back the Snow’ tells the story of a father and daughter polar bear who are forced into the city to scavenge for food in bins. But the daughter hopes to escape this as a TikTok influencer. Lastly ‘Revival’ presents a wasteland of rotten garbage in which children wear gasmasks to play. But these same children are also at the heart of an ecological revolution, planting seeds that grow into wondrous, colourful plants.

“Anarchic and funny … satirical and bang up to date … short, sharp, sardonic commentaries on the climate crisis” – The Sunday Times
