At the crossroads of puppetry, dance and theatre, Dimanche is an award-winning co-production by Belgian companies Focus and Chaliwaté.
Dimanche is set sometime in the near future when humanity has failed to adapt to the new environmental reality of climate change. Amid the chaos, a family attempts to maintain a normal lifestyle and enjoy its traditional family gathering, hilariously turning a blind eye to the surrounding mayhem as strong winds and torrential rain rage outdoors.
Meanwhile, somewhere above the Arctic Circle, three travelling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have, they seek to film Earth’s last living species: three wild animals on the brink of extinction.
