Multi-award winning environmental theatre company, Pigfoot, announce a tour of HOT IN HERE (an energy generating dance party), powered by the first energy harvesting dancefloor in live theatre, internationally.
Co-produced by the Gate Theatre, commissioned and supported by Camden People’s Theatre.
Pigfoot is a multi award-winning theatre company telling stories about the climate crisis, with the least carbon impact possible.
A protest. A theatre show. An energy-generating dance party.
HOT IN HERE celebrates action taking place around the world for climate justice.
Developed from conversations with climate activists across the globe, HOT IN HERE uses dance, real-life stories, spoken word, and music to share the action taking place internationally against climate injustice, and the UK’s place within it.
The show is powered by the first energy-harvesting dancefloor in live theatre, internationally. Like the collective action needed to tackle the climate emergency, the dancefloor converts the collective energy of the performers’ bodies into electricity.
Working alongside technician Jack Hathaway, the energy generated by the movement of the performers bodies, or any impact made on the floor, will be converted into electrical energy which will power the lights in the show. So, whilst one person moving or dancing can generate a small amount of energy, a group of people moving together can generate much more power to light the show. In much the same way, individual actions have a small impact in reducing carbon emissions, but collective action – or many people taking the same action – can create a significant, tangible shift in how our society operates.
