What does our world look like when the climate crisis is no longer a problem we will deal with in the future, but a problem we are solving in the present? 

Halcyon is thrilled to collaborate with singer/songwriter Alisa Amador to present The Future is Here: Halcyon‘s latest multimedia performance featuring the stories and actions of Maine people who are working on the ground to build creative, regenerative, and resilient communities in response to the climate crisis.

Combining live music with film, community voices, and stop-motion animations, The Future is Here celebrates the ingenuity within our communities through a series of vignettes that tell stories of the concrete actions being taken to mitigate the climate crisis and build communities that are more equal, more sustainable, and more open.
Lasting for roughly an hour followed by a 30 minute Q&A, the performance creates space for us to collectively see what our world looks like when we come together to care for each other and the world around us. It challenges the narratives of despair that dominate the climate space, and instead amplifies the action, innovation, creativity, and determination that already exists within our community.  Open to the pubic free of charge & open to all ages. Registration is strongly encouraged due to limited seating.
