Rise Again is a roaming theatrical journey, set in a future where humans have fled to another planet and in their absence, nature has reclaimed the Earth. For the few people remaining, new rituals have emerged from the ruins. Every eight years a storyteller and her acolytes are chosen for a mysterious festival. Signals are sent into space, with the hope that one day the rest of humanity will hear them and return. But they might not be the ones who need rescuing after all…

Weaving a tapestry of installation, song, original fables and poetry for a new world, Rise Again is a magical celebration of resilience, growth, and belonging.
