A brilliantly executed three-act treat that suspends dramatic tension over a complex construction with the success of a perfectly balanced biodiverse ecosystem.
Hibernation
Hawk Theatre, Narrabundah College
Narrabundah ACT, Australia
Description
It’s the year 2030 and there is an immediate climate crisis. With little choice remaining, world leaders make a collective, pragmatic decision to save the planet. For an entire year, all 8.5 billion humans on Earth will hibernate.
Gas will be launched into the atmosphere and the human population will be immediately plunged into a deep sleep, leaving the natural world to reset. The reset of the human world is not what was expected.
For years we have been making our beds. Now we must sleep in them.

Praise for Hibernation
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The writing is sharp, elegant, witty and world class. Kruckemeyer has proved that he is a force to be reckoned with.
Creative and imaginative brilliance
Elegant, thoughtful, exhilarating and visually stunning. Hibernation is an important and landmark work on the contemporary Australian theatre scene and a triumph.
Terrific new play
Hibernation is witty, intriguing, poetic and full of energising provocations... not only a wake-up call about the climate crisis, it reminds us that to fix the planet we really have to fix ourselves.
