8 Billion People on Fire

8lidí

26. 2. / 20.00 / Divadlo NoD

Czech + English subtitles / 80 min

Comfortable heat. Thick steam. Scent of citrus. While Western society relaxes in saunas,  global wildfires break record numbers and three years ago the world population reached 8 billion. At the same time, environmental issues have long been disregarded in elections around the world. Where else to find solutions than in a sauna? Conversations and images in hot steam about the burning planet and the fire within us.

How to respond to climate change without burning out? What positive lessons can we learn from the crisis? What a better place to agree on a solution than sauna? Sauna bathing promotes the regeneration of human body, releases happiness hormones, sharpens our mind, calms our soul, and helps us cope with grief. Rebirth through fire, sauna rituals, conversations and images in hot steam about the burning planet and the fire within us.
