A Psalm for the Wild-Built

April 30 – June 13, 2027

It’s been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and wandered en masse into the wilderness, fading into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is forever changed when they make the impulsive decision to abandon their vocation and venture into the wilderness. The tea monk accidentally becomes the first human to encounter a robot in centuries. Grab a warm cup of tea and a seat by the fire and join us for a touching and intimate meeting of two minds that will inspire you to ponder life’s biggest questions. A world premiere stage adaptation of Becky Chambers’ Hugo Award winning solar punk novella.
