About Future Artists
Rise of the Solar Punks is a spoken-word show by Future Artists in which Ash travels from Ireland to Australia and returns as a Solar Punk. The show explores Celtic knowledge, forest life, food security, off-grid ideas and how technology is bringing like-minds together. As heatwaves, floods and drought reshape our world much earlier than predicted, the show asks what we can learn from ancient cultures and how to fuse that wisdom with our latest technology. Running for 60 minutes and suitable for ages 12 and over, it is described as perfect for urbanites looking for answers.
Why see this show?
A timely, thought-provoking spoken-word show for curious minds — one person's journey from Ireland to Australia and back becomes a searching look at Celtic knowledge, food security and the power of off-grid thinking.
