Come and see the first performance in the UK of a new live journalism project - bringing together journalism, theatre, interaction and music. Particularly of interest for those wanting inspiration around how they can use new forms of storytelling for their work.
At this moment, only two northern white rhinos remain on Earth. Both are female, so they are functionally extinct. And that’s not all. Right now, we are at the beginning of a sixth mass extinction. The last one took place 65 million years ago, which is when the dinosaurs disappeared. This time, however, it’s the first time that we, as humans, are responsible for it. But there is still hope. Scientists have developed new technologies to create rhino embryos in an attempt to save the species from extinction. The question, then, is not whether we can do it, but whether we want to. How far are we willing to go in manipulating animals to fix our own mistakes? How designable is nature, and is it our responsibility to save these rhinos if we are the ones who caused their disappearance in the first place? In this interactive live journalism performance, which closed the International Live Journalism Festival in October 2025, journalist Jasmijn Apte presents her research through an innovative and creative form of journalistic storytelling.
Contact Glenda Cooper if you'd like to discuss a live journalism project of your own.
