Barnton Bunker is Scotland's largest nuclear bunker, nestled in a disused quarry within the peaceful forest of Corstorphine Hill.

This unique and atmospheric venue features an authentic piece of WWII and Cold War-era architecture, juxtaposed against beautiful natural surroundings which helped keep it hidden during it's top-secret military operations.

Today, it is a haven for the arts, offbeat cultural events, and immersive experiences that inspire positive change, and spark the imagination! 

An experimental meditation on living despite grief, facing one's inner demons, and learning to say goodbye. Tiny Apocalypses plays out in the very location at the heart of it's story – a once-abandoned nuclear bunker in Edinburgh. Combining theatre, spoken-word storytelling, puppetry, live music, projections, and hand-painted art, we are taken across three continents and uniquely interconnected eras of a human life – as we follow Jean Paul – a wanderer who finds himself teaching elementary school, while attempting to understand and put into words: What happens after... "The End".
