We said that after the pandemic nothing could stay the same, except that... perhaps a lot of it got worse! It is certain that after these two years we have questioned the place and the volume of work in our lives, and we also know that we need more connection, but... how do we change? And how to promote change so that transformation takes place without turning ourselves into an island? We live in a market of premieres and an incessant cycle of hyperproductivity. Arts capitalism claims new plays, artists need money and consequently create more. That is the reality. So how to solve reality? How to produce less? How to generate an ecology of the artistic speech as well? And speaking of ecology, to what extent does ecology promote exclusion? Is it more ecological if we all travel by train to a festival or the festival promotes only vegan meals? And in what way will travelling by train make it impossible for artists from South America or Asia?

These talks bring communities, artists, programmers and scientists together to collectively think about what we want to do with this that we call festivals. Two online talks will warm up a live encounter which will happen during the festival. Free access. Samuel Silva will follow-up the talk and report them in the DDD blog.
