PLOT
In a thrilling and
timely production, presented in association with the celebrated
investigative theater company, The Civilians, The Great Immensity is
a continent-hopping thriller following a woman, Phyllis, as she pursues
someone close to her who disappeared from a tropical island while on an
assignment for a nature show....
With arresting projected film and video and a wide-ranging score of
songs, The Great Immensity is a highly theatrical look into 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?”"
