Ben Okri: From Beyond the End image
Synopsis:

The poet, playwright, essayist, and Booker Prize winner, Ben Okri has been described by Ali Smith as a ‘literary and social visionary’. He returns to the Festival to discuss Tiger Work, a typically ambitious blend of poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction. Taking his inspiration from environmental activism, Okri imagines messages sent to us from an unlivable future, from the people who saw it coming. In conversation with Fiammetta Rocco.
