In a future gripped by ecological crisis, this journey listening to the plant world gives the floor to plants, to awaken us to the harmony needed among all living beings.

With headphones on, visitors wander freely through the greenhouse: discreet beacons follow their position and bring the voices of the living to life around them, close to each species. The text was reviewed by the scientific committee of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle.

Presented from 13 to 15 December 2024 in the Great Greenhouses, the experience is built to travel: light, with no heavy infrastructure, it adapts to every garden that hosts it.
