Since October 2024, we have been working with students from Christ’s Hospital School to develop an exciting new immersive, multi-space performance at the YMCA Youth Centre. Young people have been at the heart of the creative process, shaping the script, exploring ideas, and contributing to all aspects of the production.

As the outasphere closes in and our world teeters on the brink of extinction, you, our fearless group of missionaries ‘the saviours of the earth’ have been assembled as a last-ditch attempt to save humanity. Your mission? To progress through the Historical Simulation Portal, gathering vital intelligence before travelling back in time to 2025.

A pivotal year for life as we know it, where you can change the world, one act at a time. During your mission you will encounter ruthless Romans, jeering judges and callous C.E.O’s. Make haste earth saviours, for time is running out and the mistakes of the past must be rectified to ensure a brighter tomorrow.

Young people from Christ Hospital School have conceived this 30-minute immersive, multi-space performance. It celebrates the opening of the new YMCA youth centre and the importance of future generations in shaping and safeguarding our world.
