A new creative team will reassemble a new play in each area to reduce the need for travel.
It's A Sin star Lydia West will star in the London production, which is being staged at the BarbicanA new theatre production will leave its cast, crew and creative team behind when it leaves London to tour the UK.
A new regional star, director, choir and creative team will stage the same play when it opens in Coventry, Stoke-on-Trent, Plymouth, York and Merseyside. "I suggested we did zero movement of materials and people between venues, and we would do an international tour, based on that principle," Mitchell tells BBC News.
"I don't know anything about what's going on in Coventry or Stoke-on-Trent, I'm not based there locally, I don't know the audience," notes Mitchell. Each venue is issued with a set of guidelines, one of which states that the performance should be "off-grid", with the electricity generated by cyclists pedalling stationary bikes during the performance.Across the arts industry, an increasing number of performers and producers are trying to incorporate sustainability into their tours, as part of a larger push to be more environmentally friendly.
"As a company, we're committed every year to putting on a play that either directly tackles the climate crisis, or innovates and experiments with touring in a greener way. Sometimes it can do both, which is what this project is about," says Headlong's Roughan."For a show about mass death, it expertly avoids plunging its audience into insurmountable existential dread. The message it leaves the viewer with is one of hope, not despair.
"It's 120,000 watts for a normal Barbican show," Mitchell explains. "We're going to go down to between 500 and 600 watts."
