Tipping point

by Barthélémy Champenois

After the Circonférence des particules, (about quantum physics), and Lumière ! Histoire d'une hors la loi, (on the history of knowledge about light), the Cie du Gravillon is once again working with a team of researchers from the CNRS and the University of Grenoble Alpes to create a scientific-theatrical conference on climate science.

A researcher-cyclist in metascience, Barthélémy Champenois has lost his inconsistency. It all started the day he opened this letter from Air France, offering to offset the CO2 emissions of his flight to New York. He chose to refuse the offer and do it himself, and found himself embroiled in a mad dash for carbon offsetting, propelling him well beyond the limits of absurdity. We follow him in his quest for truth, his calculations, his doubts, his scientific explanations and his madness, which leave him suspended between a past he cannot change and a future that seems difficult to avoid. Barthélémy seeks his path, between inner transformation, individual, collective, militant and political action to find the levers within his reach.
