Devised by 10 Theatre BA students in collaboration with TFTV instructor Rick Wamer, Requiem for a Reef is a breathtaking work of physical theatre that takes aim at the repercussions of climate change on coral reefs and coastal communities.
Wamer and the Theatre students were invited by Mannakin Theater and Dance of California to devise and perform Requiem for a Reef for the International Choreographer’s Festival held in August in Minneapolis, and to be held in San Francisco at Mannakin’s home theatre on Oct. 27 – 28. This will be the sole opportunity to see the show in Tucson!
Requiem for a Reef is the inspiration for The Climate Project, a longer devised physical theater work conceived by Wamer with continued participation by the TFTV students along with professional artists and community collaborators, with a projected Tucson premier in the fall of 2026.
More information on the project can be found here.
The Tucson event will feature the full 10-person creative student ensemble, with a short introduction by Rick Wamer. The performance will be followed by a Q&A with the cast.
