Survival after the unthinkable has happened is not a dystopian story but a story of what you would do if you lost everything, every point of reference and what we all take for granted. Deborah by the Water, they are faced with a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave…. After the pandemic, comic books take on a whole new meaning. These and other artists believe that ‘ Survival is insufficient’ for many create art for arts sake and enjoy what they do such as Miranda who writes comic books, never minding if they become popular. They are a microcosm of the world lost around them and simmering tensions are highlighted like a bug through a lens. The Travelling Symphony are a post -apocalyptic travelling company who work their way over the country and spend every living moment together. The doomsday world has even made one celebrity paparazzi turn his hand to something more worthy! sounds such as that of a plane overhead, something you took for granted is now but a distant memory. A barren landscape in eery sense of the word. Now, the world is a shadow of its firmer self as cars no longer drive, there is no electricity or communication and the world of social media is no more. Time is measured in years since the event. Short chapters take you to a point in time either before or after the disaster strikes. The world of Station 11 is scarily realistic. From Toronto to Michigan and beyond (even Malaysia!), this is a story of places you will know the names of but not recognize as this is a world dystopian in nature and spirit where everything is different and nothing has survived and stayed the same.
