Hear from Aberdeenshire-based writer and artist John Bolland as he distils the experience from the 2023 Pibroch tour, using audience responses, visuals, music, and spoken word as a basis for conversation and inspiration for further meaningful interventions in the Climate Emergency.

Pibroch is a spoken-word performance that blends words, music and striking visual imagery to examine parallels between the Climate Emergency and the Piper Alpha Disaster of 1988.

Pibroch represents the personal and social experiences of the Piper Alpha survivors and their relationship to the challenges each of us faces in a warming world—our very own burning platform—with a pressing need for change. It aims to inform, challenge, and encourage that discussion.
