The Anthropologists theatre company invites the whole family on a mythical journey.

A family inclusive play set in a landscape of repurposed material, The Anthropologists' This Sinking Island uses movement, masks and live music to tell the story of a family who must leave all they've ever known in search of a new home. Crafted from research by the company with sea level rise science and climate refugee testimony, the performance builds a bridge between understanding climate science and imagining a better and more just future.  

Performed in an intimate setting, the physical relationship between audience and performers invites proximity and gentle participation.
