Visually stunning and laugh-out-loud funny, The Endling is a bold, physical exploration of species extinction and climate justice, delivered with Strange Futures’ signature mix of humour, ingenuity, and physical theatre.

 

Described as having “powerful physicality” (The Scotsman, 2019), the show was developed in collaboration with Julian Spooner of Rhum and Clay and is designed for intimate spaces, forging a close connection between performers and audiences.

 

In this thought-provoking, offbeat performance, Strange Futures asks how we can stop seeing ourselves as separate from the rest of the living world. Should we, perhaps, be choosing to move towards a human Endling? And what if that Endling was you?

 

Running at approximately one hour, with a simple set and minimal technical requirements, The Endling is ideal for small-scale venues and theatre festivals. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, it’s a contemporary, playful, and urgent look at our place in the world.
