Cassandre, 26, is a flight attendant for a low-cost airline. Based in Lanzarote, she’s always willing to take on extra hours and carries out her duties with robotic efficiency. On the side, she just goes with the flow and floats between Tinder, parties and lazy days. When she suddenly gets dismissed, she is forced to return home.

A mysterious force field appears around the African continent, cutting Europe off from the natural resources and cheap labor it needs to remain prosperous. Meanwhile, the ongoing process of extreme climate change plunges Europe into a new ice age. This Afrofuturist musical follows five individual stories of African descendants as they struggle to survive in a bleak future Europe. They sing to Africa, sing to each other, and sing to themselves in ways that create solidarity and community in an alienating society.
