When an intergalactic alien organization threatens humanity with extinction, one person is selected at random to advocate for our survival.
From the minds and memories of emerging artists, Earthling’s quest for the truth of the human experience is reflected in its verbatim storytelling.
An evocative and radically hopeful perspective on life, experience Earthling: a brand new, wholly human solo show.
It’s not just a play: it’s a perspective.
If nothing else, it’s true.
When our team first began devising this project, we wanted to learn how to be human. We longed to unlock a universal understanding: a manual to validate our personhood.
Thus, (an early version of) Earthling was born. But, much like the identity we were searching for, we could never have envisioned how much this piece would transform.
Earthling is a majority real experience, and entirely rooted in truth.
And that is our biggest hope for you, audience member; that you are able to find your truth reflected in this story.
As this experience has taught us, it is the most human thing we can do.
