When home has become contaminated, how do we dream about the future? In exactly the moment that it was predicted, the climate emergency has arrived. Everything has changed. The last woman on earth is beside herself. She used to live in a nice house in a nice area and never thought climate change would actually, you know, affect someone like her. But here we are. The Dirt has arrived at her door and is seeping into her house. Terrified, she calls her cleaner, a punk who has since been evicted, to come round and help, but despite all their efforts, the house just gets dirtier and dirtier. Tomorrow, she had planned to have children and play with them. She wonders if this will be possible. In this 50-minute solo performance, linguistic boundary pusher Marianne Tuckman asks: 'If outside forces such as the climate crisis invade and contaminate home, how does our vision of the future mutate? And, a burning question facing my generation: is having children still an option?'
