Cockroach by Chloe Mantripp

Will the end of the world be a non-event? Such a pitiful, limp, mouth-vomit of an eruption, that the universe rolls over, ashamed of what just happened?

This gritty, funny & moving solo show, shifts between the personal, political & epic, offering a brazen contemplation on consumption & objectification that questions where we place stigma, as we hurtle towards climate catastrophe.
