This is North Sag – home of the Sagog people.
It’s disappearing to the sea. Tomorrow, we have to leave North Sag forever. So tonight, we’ve come together to record our story for you. This is ‘The Atlantis Project’.
‘The Atlantis Project’ is an exciting and thought-provoking audio series for ages 11+. It was created as an international collaboration between artists in Wales and Norway uncovering the effects of climate change on culture, and inviting us into an experience that asks how crisis can teach us about acceptance.
Following each episode, there are a series of discussion questions and activities alluding to the content and themes of the story that can be enjoyed as an individual, as a classroom or as a family.
The audio series will be released 11th September 2020 @ 7pm, following an initial launch event. The episodes will be available on AM, Soundcloud and www.chrisharristheatre.com.
