Western civilization collapses during an economic upheaval and water becomes scarce. Pestilence, violence and war drive people from the cities. Mary and Joe survive in the sand-dunes, desalinating sea water with a ramshackle still. They eat insects and random crustaceans. Their love is but a faded memory. Then, invaders arrive: Valentino is a shark of a trader. Esmeralda is his accomplice and whore. One ill-fated night in their company tears Mary & Joe apart. Hidden truths emerge that leave Mary at her wit’s end with just one way out. This sparks a new world order that alters the course of history.

Join us for a climate talkback after the Saturday night performance at the DC Arts Center moderated by climate advisor Felipe Benítez.
