Spark Theatre Festival – ‘Earth Icon’

California, 2029… fire-free, maybe? Manny, a teenage country singer, must win a climate-themed pop music contest to save his comatose mother, Terra. When he struggles against a Puerto Rican science rapper, the technology sponsors generate Terra’s AI version— using polluting fuels! Will Manny sacrifice happiness today for an uncertain tomorrow? This modern musical has won over audiences at Oxford and Chicago, and won funding from the Puffin Foundation and owner of the Ninja Tune Record Label.
