(Working title)
A project of the Yale School of Public Health
​In collaboration with the Yale Schwarzman Center, Clear Creek Creative, Faultline Ensemble and others


​This project of the Yale School of Public Health's Humanities, Arts and Public Health Practice at Yale Initiative uses theater to apply the lessons of Covid-19 to the climate crisis. This original play is aiming for outdoor performance in New Haven, CT in September 2021. It will take place in conjunction with a touring performance of Kentucky-based Clear Creek Creative's Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man, a story of resource extraction and land domination in rural Appalachia.

Supported by the Yale Schwarzman Center, the Burrows Wellcome Fund and the Yale Environmental Humanities Program, the project is building an ensemble of artists and public health students to create this roaming, site-specific performance. The play will weave together letters from climate scientists about the emotional impact of studying climate change, compiled by Australian science communicator Joe Duggan, and letters from covid-19 contact tracers about the emotional experience of sharing Covid-19 exposure information. In drawing on the emotional experience of frontline communicators in these acute and chronic crises, we hope to use empathy and storytelling to communicate the urgent realities of climate change.

We are currently gathering collaborators for this project, both virtually and locally in the New Haven area. Have ideas to share? Contact us at Faultlineensemble@gmail.com, or visit the Contact page.
