About The Globesity Festival

This is an announcement of a showdown – from the Personal to the Global.

GLOBESITY refers to the over consumption of all natural elements that create and sustain life on Earth – some of the most vital and visible being water, minerals, oil, and FOOD. Our approach to food and sustenance is destroying our personal and social health. Our Earth and our Bodies cannot sustain the beastly grind of consumption. This beast is Globesity. It has been named. Now is the hour of confrontation.

The GLOBESITY FESTIVAL is razor sharp performance, comedy, education, celebration and collaboration. With Theatre as our laboratory, we are cooking & cutting up ingredients for SOLUTIONS.

All participating artists will engage in a juice fast, during which they will conceive a theatrical performance in response to consumerism. Then, they will develop these conceptions to be premiered at the festival.

The Globesity Festival is FREE to Everyone.

People from across the city and worldwide are urged to fast for a week In August, in solidarity for solutions.

The Globesity Festival is inter-generational and cross-community collaboration. We are calling all the Elders, The Established, The Emerging artists, activists, instigators, agitators, innovators, entrepreneurs who with your words, ways, and wares dream into being SOLUTIONS to the climate of hyper-consumption and consumerism.

COME JOIN US for a Week of discussions, solutions, community building and PERFORMANCE.
