In a future where the climate crisis has progressed, and the ratio of humans to trees has reached a tipping point, audiences watch as five characters respond to the catastrophe at hand. Loom ensembles new show, “Tell Me How You Breathe” will arrive at various locations throughout the Hudson Valley between August 10 through 19.
By Katherine Rapin for Nexus Media News.Broadcast version by Suzanne Potter for California News Service reporting for the Solutions Journalism Network-Public News Service Collaboration In 2020, artist Nicole Cooper was conducting research for a painting series when she stumbled upon a NASA chart showing temperature rise throughout history. “I had this realization of, ‘Look at how fast temperatures are rising — and what are we going to do about it?” she said. Cooper experienced what she described as an existential crisis, feeling terrified of what would happen in her lifetime and worried that it may already be too late to act. .
Smoke from Canadian wildfires this summer has permeated not only New England s air, but the performing arts. The Loom Ensemble - an interdisciplinary theater company - aims to examine the intersections of public health and social justice in its new work, "Tell Me How You Breathe." Producer and Company Co-founder Raphael Sacks said the piece tackles the unevenly distributed impacts of climate change on who gets to breathe freely, and fully. "These questions of how climate catastrophe and racial justice intersect in the lungs," said Sacks, "still feel like necessary questions of our time." Sacks said performing in Vermont during the recent catastrophic flooding brings greater immediacy to the work, and that youth climate activists will participate in some performances. " .
