An Extreme Encounter

A theatrical climate story at the Klimahaus Museum in Germany. 

When she was a child, Insa was told a defining, mind bending story about our universe, prompting her to dedicate her life to space exploration, meteorology and science. Now grown up, and in the wake of the climate crisis, it’s time for Insa to work out what story she should tell to her own children. With the help of our Narrator, we are taken on a breathtaking and emotional immersive journey through some of the most dramatic weather of our time. We are brought tantalisingly close to the extremes of nature, discover our own place in the story, and explore what message we should leave behind for the next generation.

In this new multisensory storytelling exhibition, audiences will be immersed in the full spectrum of weather extremes, entering these thrilling, complex, playful and dramatic environments for themselves. 

Permanent Experience, Opened Winter 2024.
