If things continue as they are, it doesn't look too good for several species that will soon lose their habitat as a result of climate change, including humans. A group of children from the Schütze school in Zurich has decided to prepare for this. On a newly founded planet, they create a new ecosystem, new creatures, and new living conditions. They are inspired by the animal world, by endemic species, by dinosaurs, and examples from speculative biology. They sketch and perform as newly invented species and build models for the prototype of this new planet, performing at the Migros Museum for Contemporary Art.
