Archaeological site of the Temple of Apollo, Metropolis, Karditsa

In its new production summertime, the bijoux de kant company uses poetic speech to talk about the issue of climate change and all those things that the senses of the body have long perceived while the mind has yet to fully grasp.

A young tourist guide. A radio producer at a provincial radio station. A strange encounter at the mercy of an unending, unyielding summer at the ruins of an archaeological site underneath a vicious sun.  He’s waiting for winter to come to cool off. She anticipates November so as to live the love of her life under the rain. For as long as autumn becomes but a story and summer heats up, the return of the old succession of seasons, as we knew it, becomes the new utopia. A futile expectation. Lost in their conversations, Tereza and Chronis suspect that their need for coolness and rain will probably not be met and start taking their first timid steps towards awareness.
