How would we like to rethink our world? What do we need so that everyone is well looked after and we can live well on our planet? Let's assume we are in a laboratory with four scientists and no matter where we look, it's five to twelve.
Humanity is facing unprecedented crises and one thing seems essential: We must act. "Some want to save the world and others ... just go to the office. But both sides actually want the same thing: Basically, both are concerned with securing their existence and that of their children, but one concern seems to exclude the other," the scientists* note. It looks like humanity has taken a wrong turn somewhere, but where? And how can we grow together again as a society in order to shape a future worth living together? The scientists embark on a journey through the past and the future to explore what a way of life could look like that brings people, the planet and society back into harmony. They start at the origin of all things, the Big Bang. And then? Then every evening, the audience decides anew what to take a closer look at. For example, would you prefer to learn more about the consequences of the Anthropocene for flora and fauna based on Walmart's bee drone, the history of chicken farming or the crab's journey from sea to plate? And what can scientists learn from Galileo Galilei, Homo Oeconomicus and Mother Nature to rethink our world?
