Masterful puppetry and comic physical theatre deliver a wonderful and witty reflection on the climate change crisis at the Peacock Theatre.
Sometime in the all-too-near future… Humanity has not adapted to its new ecological reality. Some people still try to maintain a normal life amidst this climatic chaos, hilariously turning a blind eye to the mayhem that surrounds them.
Using miniature vehicles, lo-fi special effects, video, puppetry, and physical recreations of film language, Dimanche paints its own witty and tender portrait of human ingenuity and stubbornness when faced with the issue of the uncontrollable forces of nature.
In its home in the heart of the city centre, a family attempts to enjoy their traditional Sunday gathering. But strong gusty winds and torrential rain are raging outside, the walls are shaking and the storm has only just started. Meanwhile, three travelling wildlife reporters, somewhere above the Arctic Circle are attempting to document the apocalypse. With the little amount of equipment they have, they look to film the Earth’s last living species: three wild animals sitting on the brink of extinction.
