While some are chatting about the weather, others watch in alarm as the world's climate continues to get worse. The news reports hurricanes, floods of the century and droughts. All over the world, (young) people are raising their voices and taking to the streets: what does their future look like in a world that has long been on fire?

The African continent is one of the first to suffer the consequences of global warming. Zimbabwe and Germany have completely different starting situations. The production seeks an exchange to address the climate catastrophe in a global context and creates emotional access to a topic that forces humankind to pull together like no other. It brings together theatre and visions from two countries and asks the big question of how things can continue: with us and with the earth.
