In the not-so-distant future, the Earth's environment undergoes drastic changes, causing our world to crumble apart!
In a building of the city center, a family spends their Sunday just like any other day. However, the walls start trembling, strong winds begin to blow outside, and sudden rain pours down, signaling the onset of a terrifying storm. Amidst this chaotic scenario, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain normalcy. Meanwhile, on another part of the Earth, three wildlife journalists are doing their utmost to document this apocalypse. Using the last remaining equipment, they film the last surviving species on Earth, as ecological extinction looms on the horizon.
The critically acclaimed production Dimanche from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the UK, exaggeratedly portrays human nature in the face of an impending apocalypse. Belgium's Company Focus and Company Chaliwaté employ objects, puppetry, images, sound, mime, and physical performances within this production. Through skillful navigation between fiction and reality, infused with a distinctive sense of humor, Dimanche mockingly highlights the human tendency to overlook glaring facts and steadfastly clings to superficial normalcy. It humorously illustrates the futile attempts to grasp onto the last semblance of normalcy when confronted with ecological disaster.
