Edi is an 8-year-old boy with a very fulfilled life. Every day he consumes and discards many things, until he receives a toy with an unexpected invitation. In that moment, he starts a journey into a world that was previously invisible to his eyes, marked by climate change. In a misdirected world, it is necessary to look into the past and make it so that everything comes out right in the future. The clock is always ticking.
On stage, only one performer and a panoply of utensils, a portrait of our lives where consumption occupies an unavoidable place. To what extent do our small gestures cause great impacts? To what extent can a toaster or a hair dryer be responsible for impactful natural disasters, like a fire or a sandstorm? To what extent are adding an ice cube to a drink or spreading butter on bread actions without consequence.
