Daniel Wetzel is co-founder of the theatre label Rimini Protokoll, together with Helgard Haug and Stefan Kaegi. Over 20 years of activities on stages, streets and various kinds of urban sites, they have created over 300 different works, including: “World Climate Change Conference” (2015), which divided the audience into the 195 nations negotiating at each annual UN climate conference, practising the dynamics of running from meeting to meeting until the final declaration in the general assembly; the installation Win >< Win (2017) which puts us face to face with a swarm of jellyfish, those who would survive mankind and enjoy the rise in temperatures; and “The Conference of the Absent” in which the lecturers of the conference do not travel but their speeches are performed by spontaneous volunteers from the audience. 

Albert Moukheiber is a neuroscience researcher and clinical psychologist. He worked for 10 years at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital focusing on anxiety disorders and resilience and currently teaches clinical psychology and psychopathology at the University of Paris 8. He is co-founder of Chiasma, a structure that focuses on how we form our opinions and how this impacts our decision-making, including regarding climate change. Albert Moukheiber is also the author of “Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You: How the Brain Shapes Opinions and Perceptions” (Allary Editions).
