What was lost in the apocalypse: almost everything, almost everyone. But there is still such beauty!

Twilight in this young new world, Lake Michigan shining a half mile away, a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in a parking lot. The actors belong to a company called: The Travelling Symphony. Maybe the last theatre company left in the whole world. Kirsten is playing Titania, a crown of flowers on her close-cropped hair, the scar on her cheekbone half-erased by candlelight. The audience is silent, watching in awe as she enacts lines of a play written in 1594, the year London's theatres reopened after two years of plague. Some centuries later, Kirsten moves across the stage in a cloud of fabric, half in rage, half in love. In a twilight once more lit by candles, the age of electricity having come and gone, Titania turns to face her fairy king: "Music, oh! Music, such as charmeth sleep!"

The actors of the Symphony travel in three caravans. All three are labelled as such, THE TRAVELLING SYMPHONY lettered in white on both sides of each van. Nothing else is painted on the two caravans at the back.

The lead caravan, instead, carries an additional line of text:

"Because survival is insufficient."
