How can you tell something enriching about a theme that leaves no one untouched with a bunch of animals with a corner off, a load of absurd humor, and a lot of playing pleasure?
Root drought,
not such fine dust, aggressive-invasive species, rising moss costs,
pesticides, exploding nature tourism… The forest is boiling over! Blue tits only eat
chips anymore, beavers build a dam of plastic bottles, and some squirrels
shoot around like unguided projectiles, fighting over a half-empty Capri Sun.
Willie Wonders
climate show tries to bring hope in these difficult times. The animals and
plants sing and dance themselves into a sweat, but when even their own show
is jeopardized by an outside threat, the animals fall out of their
role.
The musical
sputters, the children's pictures growl back, the stuffed animals bite back.
BOS (FOREST) is a forceful tragicomic theater performance on location. A
search for a bright spot in the climate story.
