Cycling, cooking, playing music, relaxing on the sofa: whatever we do, we use energy. But we also give energy, whether physical, creative or mental. Energy is valuable and should be used responsibly, as every child knows!
But where does energy come from? How is it produced? How does it get to us? And what does it have to do with climate change? Can we carry on with business as usual or are there ideas for a different approach to energy? How can we live sustainably? Do we need strict regulations or will new technologies help? Or does something have to change in our minds?
The audience can participate actively: A loop machine can be used to create songs and young people can experience the difference between electric and acoustic violins. This sharpens their perception of music and energy.
Our musicians and actors explore these questions in search of a conscious approach to energy and show that art connects, inspires - and encourages people to use their own resources consciously!
