Just a Moment Before the End of the World

Just a moment before the end of the World by Jean-Pierre Martinez

 

Three people who do not know each other are summoned to participate in a jury. At least, that’s what they were told. But the place where they have been gathered is not a courtroom. They learn that they are there to decide together how to manage the consequences of an inevitable catastrophe that will strike the world in the very near future. Opinions diverge, and numerous twists and turns keep the debate alive. Throughout this immersive performance, the audience will also be called upon to express their opinions to guide them in their choices, so that they can make the best possible decision to face the worst imaginable situation.
