Climate Parables: Imagination for a Warming World

This evening of science storytelling, on stage at the historic Wheeler Opera House, blends performance, art, and possibility. Featuring original short stories by Kim Stanley Robinson, Eliot Peper, and Mark Alpert—brought to life by master performers, stunning animations, and a live string quartet—Climate Parables invites us to imagine the futures we still have time to shape. A conversation on “The Science Behind the Fiction” rounds out the evening, exploring the real-world ideas behind these compelling, plausible visions. Production by Future Earth’s Anthropocene Magazine in collaboration with the Aspen Ideas Fest and Back Pocket Media.  Vishaan Chakrabarti, David Keith, with Moderator: Dan Charles
