BEARS // POWDER KEG 

“The performances are totally committed throughout, and the design is great, particularly the costumes” - British Theatre Guide

BEARS is a self-destructive, visceral excavation of our role in climate change.

Creating the designs with the mindset of lowering the carbon footprint of theatre, the costumes were created with a mixture of hand woven 100% natural materials and are fully biodegradable. The set was built completely out of reused/recycled materials.
