FIRE SEASON
How do you build a life amidst climate crisis?
A self-guided audiowalk exploring the audience's relationship to a changing climate. Broadcasting live over FM radio, writer/performer Monica Miklas shares her stories and prose poetry as the audience explores a real wildfire burn site. Described as "decidedly timely, reflective of an era when the loss of life can feel overwhelming to the point of paralyzing" (LA Times).
