Event Description
5,000 years into the future, the Earth we know is unrecognizable. Forests whisper in forgotten dialects. Machines sing lullabies to the wind. Aliens dance in slow, spiralling rhythms. Welcome to New Earth Bandits 2, a wildly original, outdoor theatrical experience where possible futures unfold all around you.
SNAFU is diving back into the world of New Earth Bandits (2023) with a bold new chapter in the saga. This summer’s production reimagines the future through the voices of local communities: artists on parole, Latin American artists, and artists of all abilities from the Embrace Arts Foundation.
At the heart of the action is SNAFU’s creative hub at 714 Fort Street, the NEBula Workshop, where an ensemble of artists, crafters, sewers, puppeteers, and storytellers is hard at work bringing these imagined futures to life. Drop by to catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse or grab your ticket for the full experience, running August 14-17 and 21-24 at Macaulay Point Park.
This is not a play in the traditional sense. There is no single path. No fixed storyline. You are free to explore the trails, tunnels, and battlements of Macaulay Point Park and stumble upon mysterious scenes, strange rituals, and unexpected performances lurking in the trees.
Featuring SNAFU's signature blend of live music, puppetry, physical theatre, and clowning, New Earth Bandits 2 is a celebration of human (and post-human) absurdity, resilience, and imagination in the face of time’s relentless march.
