SCRIPT TEASE : In Ten Billion Years, the Sun will Explode

Image 1 of 1

Running Time: 90 mins

When Thomas was 5 years old, he found out that the sun was going to explode. And he’s spent the last few decades trying to figure out why no one else seems to care.

“In Ten Billion Years the Sun Will Explode (among other things)” is a kooky existential comedy about one very anxious man, one very big existential threat, and the absurd business of being alive. Funny, strange and unexpectedly tender, this is a story about anxiety, mortality, and finding a reason to keep going when the universe refuses to give you any answers.

It’s also all a work in process still so join us for some insights and a fab QnA with the team.

SCRIPT TEASE offers productions (or writers) and audiences the opportunity to be in dialogue before work is put on the floor. Additionally, it offers audiences a window into various processes, as well as the chance to experience work that is otherwise difficult to mount. Readings are followed by a dialogue with the audience.

This semi-autobiographical cabaret will make you laugh, cry, and see your own story through new eyes. HOORT tells the story of Stephanie, the daughter of two pastors, as she searches for her place in the world while navigating her mixed heritage and South Africa's complex history. Through humour, pathos, and a vibrant blend of choral music, ghoema, jazz, and original Afrikaans compositions, she comes to a profound realization: fitting in is one thing, but truly belonging is something else entirely.
