2062. En réaction aux agressions de l'homme, la Terre se révolte, le ciel se couvre de nuages noirs et le Soleil s'éteint peu à peu. L'humanité prise au piège commence à se déplacer vers l'Afrique, où l'astre brille encore, inversant ainsi le sens des migrations et bouleversant l'ordre mondial. Ophelia et Ulysse, fuyant l'Europe, entreprennent un périlleux voyage avec leurs enfants. ©Electre 2024
Usoni
Scenario of a Future
Act 1 : passage from hell to hell
2062.
The North Hemisphere is plunged into darkness. The sky of Europe, little by little, blackens, first, consequence of pollution, climate change, global warming, nuclear catastrophes... and, as grand finale, the eruption of the volcanoes.
As reacting at the abuse from its inhabitants, Earth spits out its anger and covers the sky with a lead cloud. The sun becomes invisible and without the sun, life disappears. Planes cannot fly. Humanity is trapped. Food is reduced to nothing.
Water becomes more precious than gold used to be for the last centuries. Life doesn't exist anymore, only survival.
The great migration now goes from North to South, directly opposite to the phenomenon of the beginning of the century. The roles are inversed but the situation remains the same. The walls of the frontiers are as high and insurmountable as before.
Lampedusa once « Door to Europe » becomes « Door to Africa », where the sun is still shining.
« Usoni », « Future » in kiswahili, is the story of Ophelia and Ulysse, the story of their journey to escape Hell Europe, their journey so their child would not be born in the dark but in the light... in the warm light of the sun.
Act 1 is the first part of the scenario Usoni... the scenario of a future... a future as the image of a present so cruelly real.
