A young couple is trying to have a baby. Ice caps are melting. Forests are burning. In the face of environmental collapse, one woman wonders if the best way to protect a future child is not to have one at all. It all goes according to plan until she discovers she has little choice in the matter. In this dark comedy, a woman’s body becomes a battleground of political anguish, conflicting desire, and existential dread. Composed and music directed by Daniel Schlosberg with a libretto by Amanda Quaid based on her play, The Extinctionist is directed by Shadi Ghaheri and presented by Heartbeat Opera.
