Bad New Days' Last Landscape is nominated for 8 Dora Mavor Moore Awards, and wins 2!
About Last Landscape:
In a sometime somewhere devoid of nature, posthuman ‘workers’ enter an empty space and assemble a series of artificial landscapes out of found objects, striving with their bodies to recreate the natural world from memory. But is it the deep past we see, or some genetically modified future?
The world premiere of Last Landscape blends Bad New Days’ signature brand of physical theatre with an eco-dramaturgical, DIY aesthetic to create a slowly transforming, imagistic meditation on extinction, ecological grief and interspecies care, where colossal puppets of prehistoric megafauna roam free. On the brink of environmental collapse, Last Landscape offers hopeful possibilities for how we might share this big green miraclemarble.
Last Landscape was nominated for 8 Dora Awards in 2025, winning 2 for Scenic Design & Sound Design
Puppetmongers is proud to have contributed to the design for Last Landscape with puppet design and builds of the dog and geese puppets!
Last Landscape prioritises sustainability in every stage of its creation—from the artistic vision to the materials used in production . Because of its eco-dramaturgical ethos, Last Landscape was recently awarded the prestigious Ray Ferris Innovation and Sustainability Grant from the Ontario Arts Foundation and the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts.
Congratulations to all artists involved!
