En 2018, scientists warned there were only 12 years. Now it’s 2026. The world has been living on a tipping point for over 8 years. Le temps a passé; but what has changed? Everything and nothing. Oui. Et alors? A group of youth committed to taking climate action the way they know best–theatre–attempt to perform for you the play they created 8 years ago, again.
Toutes les configurations; the numbers and geometry; les déclarations and pledges; the science, art, words words words– ils vont les refaire pour vous. But how? They’ve changed (haven’t we all changed?) and yet the fight for climate justice is like … like trying to compost concrete. How do they sustain caring for a cause their generation has championed for decades? How does anyone? Is it ever ok to stop? How do we choose between personal survival and that of an entire planet? From the award-winning company who brought 12, STUFF and DNA to Ottawa/Gatineau audiences.
