Those who remain must find a new way of life.

In an imagined future not far from our own, a bio-engineered apocalypse has changed the Earth as we know it. An unlikely group of survivors must navigate a dangerous present and make sense of the past.

Choreographer Wayne McGregor brings Margaret Atwood’s trilogy of novels (Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood and MaddAddam) to the stage in a three-act ballet, set to an original score by Max Richter. Themes of extinction, invention, hubris and humanity meet Atwood’s feminist and environmentalist voice in an exploration of life beyond societal collapse.
