Steven Gaultney’s “Bright Light Burning” is a theatrical journey that merges artistry, storytelling, and environmental activism. Our interdisciplinary production aims to shift perspectives, evoke empathy, and galvanize audiences to take meaningful steps toward a sustainable future.

The theme of COP28 is “Adaptation.” To that end, our play, Bright Light Burning, will follow a found family of performers living in 2100. The world has changed, but human need has not. Audiences will witness the new ways our descendants have found to cherish and care for each other, all as they perform a history of their ancestors’ choices through the 77 years that stand between us and them.

It is our hope that audiences will form a connection with these characters, one that reminds them that the future is worth all our effort.
