Sir David Attenborough’s voice has soothed generations across the globe. What does it say about us that the character of Attenborough has become the defining communicator of the natural world? How has his gaze, his voice and his storytelling influenced what we consider ‘pristine’ and ‘beautiful’ and ‘untouched’?
Together with theatre maker Agat Sharma, journalist Gemma Venhuizen and writer Frank Westerman we delve into the cultural weight of the 98-year old Attenborough and the ways his voice – authoritative, friendly and familiar – shapes and limits our understanding of nature. What remains untold?
An evening on the man who taught us how to see the natural world. A character study of Sir David Attenborough.
