We Built this City on Rock and Coal

We Built This City on Rock and Coal brings scientists and theatre-makers to the rural west of Ireland for a co-created comedy show driven by hopepunk, climate research, music, and what matters most to the local community. It’s a show that’s fun for you, and good for the planet! We believe that every individual and their community can be part of a solution to climate change.

Research shows that caring for your local environment helps you care for the planet, so join us for sustainability workshops and citizen science activities! The show holds space for audience members to speak up and/or be interviewed. These source materials are used by international improvisation experts to inspire scenes, songs and sketches that are unique to each show and community.

We Built This City on Rock and Coal is a recipient of the Creative Climate Action fund, an initiative from the Creative Ireland Programme. The project is also supported by iCRAG, the SFI Research Centre in Applied Geosciences hosted at University College Dublin, and the University of Galway.
