BY SANDRA FIONA LONG A fantastical erotic fugue for planet Earth Inspired by adult animation, and riffing off trashy romance literature, The Engineer in the Snow will lead you on an erotic quest to save planet earth.

Told through the imagination of one woman, performed by Emily Tomlins, in a world of interactive sound and visual design by Darius Kedros and Indonesian artist Deden Bulqini, The Engineer in the Snow is a poetic journey crossing exquisite aural and visual landscapes. Here the ultimate fantasy is to feel the vulnerability and pain of the planet, and the potential of its renewal. But this fantasy is continually thwarted by the grasp of capitalism.

Join us in the summer snow. Be plunged into visions of global economic disparity and environmental destruction. And celebrate the power of the imagination to achieve anything.
