The director of this film-performance faces the power of nature as she is trying to convince a waterfall to turn into a power plant. Her discourse, the arguments she uses, her supposedly ecological and well sustained reasoning can’t but hide our lack of most basic common sense. What has humanity to do with nature? Are we trying to do our best or to dominate? (Karim Shimsal)
