The Herds, a Vast Act of Theater to Spark Climate Action | Amir Nizar Zuabi | TED
Theater has the power to transform the most pressing issues of our time from news stories into human stories, says director and playwright Amir Nizar Zuabi. Recounting his work on the journey of Little Amal — a 13-foot puppet symbolizing the refugee experience — Zuabi unveils his newest project: “The Herds,“ a vast theatrical production of animal puppets that will “migrate“ from West Africa to Norway in 2025, aimed at sparking climate change awareness.
