About

Environmental Disaster. Political Corruption. Class Warfare. Sound Familiar?

A devised creation inspired by Plato’s Atlantis, the project featured GHL’s unique approach to incivility “Active Access Design”. Access tools are incorporated into the devising process as creative obstacles, ensuring the work is accessible in every moment.  

This project featured the incorporation of audio description, captioning, and sign in creation. 

Creative Team

GHL is an international collective and network of companies and artists working together in shared practice. Home countries of participating organizations and artists include Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, the U.S.A., Canada, Argentina, Brazil, and China.
