Farm Arts Collective tours the climate change extravaganza. In this romp, Dream on the Farm follows two scientists, Carl Sagan and Lynn Margulis as they explore the contemporary world through both a micro and macroscopic lens in a journey to help humanity solve the climate crisis.  The ensemble of actors, musicians, stilt-walkers and farmers will bring this touring version of Dream on the Farm to communities across the northeast in 2022.
