What if we continued life as usual while our world fell apart?
Belgian companies Focus and Chaliwaté put this question front and centre in their imaginative and comedic take on the climate crisis in Dimanche.
The climate crisis may not sound like the best material for a comedic production, but the absurdity of how humanity continues to ignore it in the face of disaster is certainly ridiculous.
Dimanche brings this idea to life through theatre, film and puppetry. It tells the story of a family trying to enjoy their Sunday as storms rage and landscapes shift. However, they stick to their routine, ignoring the chaos outside.
Meanwhile, three wildlife reporters fight to capture the last traces of a disappearing world. The result is a show that makes us think about how we respond to climate change—and whether we’re doing enough.
But Dimanche isn’t just about climate change. It’s about human nature. It’s about our ability to ignore problems until they are too big to handle.
