46. Angouleme: World Without End

  • Bendigo Bank Theatre 50 View Street Bendigo, VIC, 3550 Australia (map)

Is this the end of the world? Perhaps not. In this eye-opening, hopeful and hugely entertaining bestseller, a climate expert takes a leading graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is undergoing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, walks us through just about everything: from the innermost workings of our minds to toothbrushes, office jobs, and oil; ancient history and modern geopolitics; economics and ecology; the unfolding climate crisis and its consequences for us all. As he describes the world we live in - a world whose future is deeply uncertain - the artist, Christophe Blain, intently listens and draws. Coming face to face with global warming, the unlikely duo - along with Mother Nature, Yoda and Jiminy Cricket, among others - create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like.

Hosted by Bernard Caleo, Sarah Firth and Rachel Ang through a discussion on graphic novels and the power of the artform to change a climate crisis.
