Experimental sound collage about the world going through a sixth mass extinction

The world is going through a sixth mass extinction and it鈥檚 all our fault. Even the most abundant forms of animal life, beetles and other insects, are dying off in huge numbers. How do we talk about that? How can we even begin to understand what this really means for humanity and all other life on Earth?
This disorienting experimental sound collage uses multiple voices to ask how we can start to listen differently to each other and the world around us, taking in veganism, linguistics, Shakespeare and eating cockroaches along the way.
