Planet City and the Return of Global Wilderness

After centuries of colonisation, globalisation and never-ending economic extraction, the world has been remade from the cellular level up to the level of tectonic plates. In the storytelling performance Planet City and the Return of Global Wilderness, we go on a science fiction safari through an imaginary city inhabited by the entire population of Earth, where ten billion people have surrendered the rest of the world to global-scale wilderness and returned stolen lands to indigenous peoples and hon-humans. As nation states consistently fail to act in any meaningful way against climate change, a hyperdense metropolis called Planet City emerges by global consensus as a voluntary multigenerational retreat from the vast network of cities and entangled supply chains.
