The Word for Snow

The Word for Snow focuses on the theme of global warming which diminishes the attention given to war and terror: it is a disaster for which there could be no cure. Words make manifest our destructive tendencies: if “time is a lie”, it is because of the devaluation of the planet. The subsequent loss might make us question reality: if human culture is no more in place, then what will happen to our conception of time? The loss of our sense of space might give way to the loss of our sense of humanity. The play hints at the conflict between reference and knowledge through the loss of reference.
