An intermedia production about an oracle of change - Memoirs of the Earth

Greece last summer - a time of extremes. Scorching heat, devastating fires and catastrophic floods shake southern Europe. Climate change is inexorably transforming our planet. Are we still in a position to do anything about it or must we resign ourselves to our fate?

In search of answers, we turn to the Oracle of Delphi, to the seer Pythia. The prophetess who once prophesied the future to the Greeks at Delphi becomes the image of unstoppable climate change and the pressing ecological crisis. Fleeing from the fires in her homeland, she ends up in Germany as a climate refugee, where she finds shelter in a theater. Her sarcastic, sometimes tragicomic speeches reflect the worrying state of Mother Earth today, also as a result of a world dominated by men for thousands of years. As befits her profession, she also takes a look into the future. At least she seems to have an answer!
