Theater play “Change the climate”

Monitoring alpine glaciers, expeditions in caves, observation of the athletic performances of fishes, mobile labs, rain simulators, green surfaces: a performance standing between conference and theater to discover how scientific research and engineering contribute to face the challenges of climate change, starting from the experience of the project climate_change@polito.

Cambiare il clima (Change the climate) is a performance by Faber Teater, designed in cooperation with the Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering and produced for Biennale Tecnologia of Politecnico di Torino, where it was staged online on November 15th 2020.

Starting from June 2021, Cambiare il clima has been also performed live in several venues.
