La MaMa is proud to present the world premiere of The Edge of Nature, a live performance by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Josh Fox, best known for Gasland, the documentary that ignited the anti-fracking movement worldwide. The Edge of Nature chronicles Fox’s year-long journey healing himself from long Covid in a one room cabin in the woods just as the world shuts down in 2020.

In this live performance, Fox narrates his battle with long Covid alongside an ensemble of 11 musicians and singers who perform classic American Folk songs and an original score by Dougie Bowne. Fox, known for his first person voiceover and storytelling, will narrate the film live as well as play the score live on banjo and many other instruments.

Following each performance, notable celebrities and local climate activists will join Fox onstage in a post-show conversation. The goal of these talks is to educate audiences in ways they can help heal the planet.

A performance will happen nightly from June 14th to 30th at 7pm.
