The Flood (2023)
Description
The apocalypse is not coming, it has already happened. At least that’s what the Old Testament says. Theaster Gates' film The Flood interweaves the hybrid monastic sounds of his ensemble The Black Monks, Uniting Voices Chicago youth choir, and members of the celebrated gospel choir the Thompson
Community Singers with scientific commentaries from global climate historians Professor Carlo Barbante and Professor Neil Shubin that aim to debate whether a natural disaster with the power for mass extinction – like the Flood, as described in the Bible – has occurred or will occur on Earth.
