14 – 16 August 2026 // Robinswood Hill // Free – everyone welcome
What is it?
“Why don’t we talk about it?”
An urgent question and an invitation offered by Can I Live?: a vital new digital performance* about the climate catastrophe conceived, written and performed by BAFTA-nominated actor and activist Fehinti Balogun who shares his personal journey into the biggest challenge of our times.
Weaving his story with spoken word, rap, theatre, animation and the scientific facts, Fehinti charts a course through the fundamental issues underpinning the emergency, identifying the intimate relationship between the environmental crisis & the global struggle for social justice, and sharing how, as a young Black British man, he has found his place in the climate movement.
In the face of a sense of helplessness about the climate catastrophe, Can I Live? is an outstretched hand, inviting audiences to recognise they are not alone – and that through understanding the issues and connecting with the many powerful activists around the globe driving change, we can find a sense of hope for the future.
Suitable for ages 12+
