Old Earth has nothing left for us, and so it is time for a new beginning

Cross galaxies, traverse light years and find yourself in a world where you can be the centre of your own universe

Welcome to New Earth

Never look back

Vela, the revered and celebrated architect of this new society, has recently been avoiding her public duties in favour of visiting the Old Earth Museum and the company of its Security Guard

As the final migrants arrive, she is becoming increasingly obsessed by her memories, and questions are growing about her sanity

Leaving Planet Earth is a site-responsive promenade production on an epic scale

Tracing the story of humanity's first migration into space, it asks fundamental questions about our connection to this planet -

Should we leave this world?

And if so, who will endure and at what cost?

One of the highlights of the 2013 Edinburgh Festival
