I love the smell of gasoline by Claren Grosz

“Overhead projection meets performative research essay meets personal narrative as Claren attempts to reconcile her Alberta oil-industry roots with the current environmental emergency. The project was born of a frustration with divisive Canadian politics, rampant hypocrisy, and a lack of team spirit when facing impending doom. It unpacks some of the forces that drive global warming and Western alienation in a personal account of what it is to live in a modern, capitalist environment, be a self-serving organism, and also care about the earth and fellow creature kind. What does it really mean to sacrifice and to survive? How can we harness our agency and responsibility in a global crisis?” Pencil Kit Productions Upcoming Presentation Dates: RUTAS International Performing Arts Festival, Toronto October 6-8, 2022 at the Factory Theatre Studio http://www.pencilkitproductions.com/i-love-the-smell-of-gasoline ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
