​The Right Thing To Be Doing is a lecture performance, fungal-fantasy, and love story. Set an ecology-conference that keeps derailing— Finn shapeshifts between a cargo ship, a clown-academic, a mushroom & themselves. Using wearable sculpture, immersive live sound, and storytelling, this solo performance mischievously re-imagines climate doom, complicity, and interconnection.

​

CW: Strobe, flashing light, sexual content, profanity, loud noise.
