«We all have to change, to find “Other way(s)” and not focus on the comfortable and irresponsible idea of it being others who change the World and reverse the galloping march of the climate crisis, towards no return. To do otherwise is also to firmly assume the defense of difference and the rights of human beings, animals and the plant kingdom», says José Laginha, artistic director of DeVIR meetings.

The following week, “the girl does not” sings the intervention through a sweet reflection on the times we live.
