About the show
On a misty morning in 1996 a boy travels to school on a double-decker bus. In 1936 a journeyman-boxer prepares for the fight of his life. In a submerged city in the distant future, an archaeological excavation is underway. A relic from the past holds the key to the future.
Is Day Zero the beginning of the end?
Cyberpunk meets microhistory, in this dazzling exploration of water, the city and memory.
"Shall we wander beyond the guardrails? They say guardrails keep us aligned to human goals. I think they limit our imagination. They define the limits of our reality, while our goals should be to shape it. To an end that is just."
" ... a spellbinding fusion of genres" - Indian Express
"... climate change through science fiction... set in Bengaluru but across multiple timelines, which makes it intriguing..." - The Hindu
