By Martin Jameson. In today's 'zeit', the 'geist' is everywhere - environmental catastrophe, conspiracy theories, populism, fake news, the age of the algorithm, nationalism, racism, social exclusion. Not to mention pandemics. As the world teeters on the edge of various self-made apocalypses, Angst! takes a satirical sideways look at our own naked fears. Five separate but connected half-hour 'what if?' stories all told under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Timor Greer. What if the planet is, in reality, a single sentient organism, intent on ridding itself of the poisonous human parasites living on its surface? And what if a way is found to communicate with this 'intelligence'? And what if the person put in charge of negotiations is a refugee cleaner from Darfur? Cast: Gaia ….. Kerry Shale Nemat …..
