An activist sets themself on fire.

What drove them to such an act?

'I hope this means something' ventures beyond the science of the climate crisis to uncover a mind undone by it. Following award-winning turns in DIRT and Naomi, Livesey dives beneath the banal to bring you a visceral, vulnerable and vital reflection on the weight of a dying planet on the human soul.

'I hope this means something' is the inaugural recipient of the Melbourne Fringe Climate Crisis Commission, supported by the Malcolm Robertson Foundation.
