Climate change and flooding have left the continent's remaining landmass in a state of chaos, and as part of a last-ditch effort to preserve the cultural signifiers of modern life, an underwater storage facility has been set up to house items of importance.

Part dystopia, part farce, Artifacts of Consequence investigates the bizarre manner in which we prioritize our devotions while the world falls apart around us.

Artifacts of Consequence is a co-production of PL115 and Electric Pear, re-uniting members of the creative team that brought you the international hit, God's Waiting Room.
