As audiences embark on this strange journey into a futuristic Taiwanese night market, we are invited to explore what interspecies resourcefulness and creative food solutions might look like, in the not-so-distant future, and in the face of the climate crisis.
Set in an imagined night market where bat species are extinct, Bat Night Market intersects performance, speculative design and science.
