I hope this means something

A story of isolation, sacrifice and the climate crisis by two of Melbourne Fringe's most celebrated artists.

An activist sets themself on fire. 

​

What drove them to such an act?

​

Recipient of 11-Fringe Festival Awards, Patrick Livesey returns to Melbourne Fringe in this urgent and confronting new solo work under the direction of Green Room Award-winner Benjamin Nichol (SIRENS, Kerosene).

​

I hope this means something ventures beyond the science of the climate crisis to uncover a mind undone by it. As one person becomes increasingly radicalised by the world around them, the boundaries between sane and insane, real and unreal disintegrate.

​

Following award-winning turns in DIRT and Naomi, Livesey dives beneath the banal to bring you a visceral, vulnerable and vital reflection on the weight of a dying planet on one human's soul.
