'Force Majeure brings theatre legends Paul Capsis, Olwen Fouéré and Pamela Rabe together with its new youth company for a truly epic new production. Presented at Sydney Festival and commissioned by Carriageworks, The Last Season features thirteen 9-14 year-olds from our youth company, which has been made possible through strategic funding from the NSW government. Using Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as a departure point for an intergenerational conversation exploring ageing, environmental destruction and speculative paths to human survival, The Last Season asks: How did we get here? What have we built? How can we continue?' (Production summary)
