Performed by Hazel Darwin-Clements and Fay Guiffo
Maya and the Whale is the story of a young climate activist on the run who finds herself face-to-face with a beached whale. Her dad works in the oil industry and her mum just wants her to have a childhood free of worry, but how can she go about ‘business as usual’ when there’s a climate emergency?
In this darkly comic and provocative show with live music, the audience becomes the whale itself. A powerful reminder of smallness confronting hugeness.
Written for a generation facing unprecedented challenges, Maya and the Whale asks:
What if keeping ‘business as usual’ makes us complicit? And how far are young people willing to go to demand change?
A heartfelt adventure for ages 10–100.
What audiences are saying…
”… the right mix of facts and impact.”
“Incredible performance.”
