The end of the world is (not) tomorrow

Synopsis
Born in the 1970s, this child meets a scientist who tells him about the world
world and its finitude for 2030[1]...
Unless... unless we give air and space back to the living.
Unless we like water and insects on our windshields!
This show is a love song for our planet.
A hymn to knowledge performed by a magician and a singer before the eyes
of the child in all of us.
If all these crises are interconnected and can, like a domino effect, trigger catastrophe, then changing the place of a few dominoes can change the trajectory!
At the heart of the show, the role of water, glaciers and melting ice caps

becomes a magical laboratory.
The teacher explains without words, just magic tricks, using his napkins, umbrella

So how do we limit the damage?
The proponents of collapse theory have only one word on their lips: increase society's resilience.
society's capacity for resilience.
New models must be invented.
Irène, the child and the scientist share this hope.

[1] As early as 1972, the Meadows report entitled The Limits To Growth, written by MIT researchers for the Club of Rome, warned of the dangers of exponential economic and demographic growth in a finite world. The report predicted collapse by 2030.
