About this show

An experimental meditation on living despite grief, facing one's inner demons, and learning to say goodbye. Tiny Apocalypses plays out in the very location at the heart of it's story – a once-abandoned nuclear bunker in Edinburgh. Combining theatre, spoken-word storytelling, puppetry, live music, projections, and hand-painted art, we are taken across three continents and uniquely interconnected eras of a human life – as we follow Jean Paul – a wanderer who finds himself teaching elementary school, while attempting to understand and put into words: What happens after... "The End".
