For as long as mankind has existed, we have used stories to warn future generations of danger. What new stories do we need to tell about what our time leaves behind? Starting from her background in science, Karin Lundengård takes us on a journey through her own family history, and using traditional tales from across the globe, prepares us for a leap ten thousand years into the future.

A personal and thought provoking show about how to deal with the dangers of nuclear waste, and how stories connects us to the generations that were and those who are yet to come.

“A thoughtful and engaging evening; memory and myth, and messages from the past at different scales, and the ephemeral nature of records.”

This show would not have been possible without the enormous support of the Step-Up commission, the House of the West Wind, and Get A Word In Edgeways. I also owe great thanks to nuclear memory researchers Anna Storm and Thomas Keating, who fact checked the last story. Finally, thanks to Ropetackle Storytellers for inviting me and recording the performance.
