Upcoming Production
Bright Light Burning (Baku)
Steven Gaultney’s Bright Light Burning is a theatrical journey combining artistry, storytelling, and environmental activism. Our interdisciplinary production aims to shift perspectives, evoke empathy, and galvanize audiences to take meaningful steps toward a sustainable future.
Set in the year 2099, the audience gathers in a theatre in Baku, Azerbaijan, which has been repurposed as a holding center for migrants. The narrative focuses on characters who must deal with the realities of climate-induced migration, and the audience is cast as migrants alongside them.
Blurring the line between performer and observer, the play is a powerful statement on the social and emotional toll of climate displacement. It emphasizes the urgent need for empathy and collective action in the face of global crises.

Negligence
A man all alone at the end of the world finds a bundle in the road, motionless, silent. Is it a baby? Is it a bomb? The answer leads him on a journey in which he demands the cost of indifference be admitted and asks what it means to be human.
