LIFE WASTE: A Bio-Gas Musical


Created with Valley Traction


LIFE WASTE is a live performance event that uses the process of biogas to explore alternative energy and production cycles. In this work-in-progress showing, a talented group of musicians and performers will guide the audience through a mix of stories, observations, and humor. It is a parable of sorts (based on real life) that asks more questions than we can answer: Where does energy come from? What else can it become? How is it part of our lives? Join us to delve into the fun and complex stuff that powers the world.

In this piece, Dickinson College students, alumni, local farmers, artists, and musicians use a punk-folk-rock format to tell a tale of organic farmers, alternative energy and the challenges and triumphs of sustainability.
