Requiem for Change

01 Jun 2024

David Glass Ensemble / East 15 Acting School

Lots of people dressed in neutral coloured shirts and trousers move about the stage.
A performer holds a phone and phone holder to her ears, she seems panicked.
People in party dresses dance on stage.
A woman sits on a chair and plays an imaginary cello.

Klein is a journalist investigating capitalism’s effect on climate change. 
Her sister, Naomi, is a reclusive cellist battling nature to become pregnant.  
Naomi’s husband is struggling to write a requiem to be performed at the World Climate Change Summit.  
 
From the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, to the stories of nature and Naomi’s young daughter, Requiem for Change is an epic devised piece about the struggle between late-capitalism and climate change. 
 
Inspired by Naomi Klein’s book This Changes Everything, written by master theatre director David Glass and featuring a cast of 17 performers from the BA Acting & Physical Theatre course at East 15 Acting School. Originally devised with the students of East 15 Acting School class of 2018.
