The Great Immensity is a continent-hopping thriller following a woman, Phyllis, as she pursues her twin sister Polly who disappeared from a tropical island while on an assignment for a nature show. Through her search Phyllis uncovers Polly’s connection to a mysterious plot surrounding the upcoming international climate summit in Auckland. As the days countdown to the Auckland Summit, Phyllis must puzzle out her sister’s thinking in the hope that she might decipher the plan and possibly stop it in time. With arresting projected film and video and a wide-ranging score of songs, The Great Immensity is a highly theatrical look into the one of the most vital questions of our time: how can we change ourselves and our society in time to solve the enormous environmental challenges that confront us.
Obie Award-winning theatre innovators The Civilians are celebrated for their endlessly inventive and entertaining spin on the most pressing issues of our time. They now bring their provocative and ground-breaking approach to storytelling to the Rep for the world premiere of The Great Immensity, an original musical that is part mystery and part morality tale. Woven into the story are authentic interviews with top scientists, indigenous community leaders, tour guides and others who have been touched by the reality of global climate change, deforestation and endangered ecosystems.
