About the show
Banner Theatre’s bold & urgent performance, where climate justice meets workers’ power and the fight against fascism.
“A Just Transition: Jobs, People, Planet” brings together live music, song and filmed interviews to explore how a worker-led transition to a climate-friendly world is not only possible — but necessary.
The show weaves together interviews with activists and powerful stories of collective worker-led resistance and innovation. It includes the GKN workers in Italy who occupied their factory and worked with climate activists to develop plans for socially useful, green production. It also marks the 50th anniversary of the Lucas Plan, when aerospace workers in the 1970s developed over 150 proposals for socially useful alternatives to arms production. The second half of the show highlights more current political struggles, including resistance against the far right and Refugee rights
This timely production is ideal for festivals, union events and conferences, community spaces, climate campaigns and political gatherings.
