Klein is a journalist investigating capitalism’s effect on climate change. Her sister, Naomi, is a reclusive cellist battling nature to become pregnant. Naomi’s husband is struggling to write a requiem to be performed at the World Climate Change Summit.
From the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, to the stories of nature and Naomi’s young daughter, Requiem for Change is an epic devised piece about the struggle between late-capitalism and climate change.
