“Enough fantasies of the apocalypse, it’s already here. Doom impending, Ellen and her brother seek refuge on their father’s sustainable, eco-friendly commune. His plan to save the world? A gender-fluid, pedal-powered bicycle named Mercury Daniels. But you’d better hope the family can set aside their differences before the CEO of that mega tech corporation, Syzygy, gets his hands on them. Will the family overcome their clashing beliefs and save the world with the forces of renewable energy? Corporate surveillance and conspiracies abound in this hyper-speed piece of sustainable sci-fi theatre from NYC.”
