"Kwete Sainzi yaBaba Vangu": Alanna Mitchell neni Tinotaura Simba reTheatre uye neGungwa Rinochinja

“Dai zvese zviri panyika zvaizofa mangwana, zvese zviri munyanza zvinenge zvakanaka. Asi dai zvinhu zvese zviri mugungwa zvaizofa, zvese zviri panyika zvaizofawo.”

ALANNA MITCHELL | AKAKUNDA MUBAMBO WECANADIAN SCIENCE JOURNALIST

Alanna Mitchell akamira pachikuva chidiki nhema, pakati pedenderedzwa jena rakadhonzwa nechoko rinenge dhayamita gumi nemana. Kumashure kwake kune bhodhi rakabata goko regungwa guru, choko nechidzimiso. Kuruboshwe kwake, tafura ine girazi ine chirongo chevhiniga negirazi rimwe chete remvura. 

Ndinotarisa ndakanyarara nevamwe vangu vateereri, takagara pacheya muKennedy Center's REACH plaza. Chiratidziro chavo cheCOAL + ICE, chiratidziro chemifananidzo chinoratidza kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze kwakadzama, inovhura nhanho uye inowedzera kutyisa kumutambo wemukadzi mumwechete. Pane imwe purojekita sikirini, moto unotinhira panzvimbo yakashama. Imwe skrini inoratidza kunonoka uye kwechokwadi kuparadzwa kweaizi caps muAntarctica. Uye pakati pazvo zvese, Alanna Mitchell anomira otaura nyaya yekuti akawana sei kuti gungwa rine switch yezvipenyu zvese panyika.

“Handisi mutambi,” Mitchell anoreurura kwandiri maawa matanhatu chete zvisati zvaitika, pakati pekutariswa inzwi. Isu takamira pamberi peimwe yezviratidziro. Hurricane Irma kubata paSaint Martin muna 2017 hova pachiuno kumashure kwedu, nemichindwe ichidedera nemhepo uye mota dzichinyungudika pasi pemafashama. Musiyano wakanyanya kudzikama uye netarisiro yaMitchell.

Muchokwadi, Mitchell's Kurwara kweGungwa: The Global Ocean muCrisis kwaisambofanira kunge kuri kutamba. Mitchell akatanga basa rake semutori wenhau. Baba vake vaiva musayendisiti, vachinyora misha yeCanada uye vachidzidzisa zvidzidzo zveDarwin. Sezvingatarisirwa, Mitchell akafadzwa nemashandire anoita masisitimu epasi redu.

"Ndakatanga kunyora nezvenyika nemhepo, asi ndakanga ndakanganwa nezvegungwa." Mitchell anotsanangura. “Ndakanga ndisingazivi zvakakwana kuti ndione kuti gungwa ndiro chidimbu chakakosha chegadziriro yose iyoyo. Saka pandakazviwana, ndichangotanga rwendo rwese rwemakore rwekubvunza nemasayendisiti nezve zvakaitika kugungwa. " 

Kuwanikwa uku kwakaita kuti Mitchell anyore bhuku rake Gungwa Kurwara muna 2010, nezve yakashandurwa chemistry yegungwa. Paaive parwendo achikurukura nezvetsvakiridzo yake uye chido chake kuseri kwebhuku, akamhanyira muArtistic Director Franco Boni. “Uye akati, munoziva, 'Ndinofunga tinogona kuzvishandura kuita mutambo.'”. 

Muna 2014, nerubatsiro rwe Iyo Theatre Center, yakavakirwa muToronto, uye co-vatungamiriri Franco Boni uye Ravi Jain, Kurwara kweGungwa, mutambo, wakatangwa. Uye munaKurume 22, 2022, mushure memakore ekushanya, Gungwa Kurwara yakaita debut yayo muUS panguva Kennedy Center muWashington, DC. 

Sezvandinomira naMitchell uye ndichirega izwi rake rinozorodza richigeza pamusoro pangu - pasinei nechamupupuri chiri pachiratidziro chekuratidzira shure kwedu - ndinofunga nezve simba remitambo yekuisa tariro, kunyange munguva dzemhirizhonga. 

"Ichi chimiro chehunyanzvi uye ndinoda hurukuro yainovhura, imwe yacho isingataurwe, pakati pangu nevateereri," anodaro Mitchell. "Ini ndinotenda musimba rehunyanzvi rekushandura mwoyo nepfungwa, uye ndinofunga kuti mutambo wangu unopa vanhu mamiriro ekunzwisisa. Ndinofunga kuti pamwe zvinobatsira vanhu kuti vade nyika. ”

MuREACH plaza, Mitchell anotiyeuchidza kuti gungwa ndiro hurongwa hwedu hwekutsigira hupenyu. Kana iyo chemistry yegungwa ikachinja, iyo njodzi kune hupenyu hwese pasi pano. Anotendeukira kubhodhi rake sezvo Bob Dylan's "Nguva Dzavari A-Changin'" inoungira kumashure. Anonyora nhamba dzakatevedzana muzvikamu zvitatu kubva kurudyi kuenda kuruboshwe, odzinyora kuti “Nguva,” “Carbon,” uye “pH”. Pakutanga kuona, nhamba dzacho dzakawandisa. Asi Mitchell paanotendeuka kuti atsanangure, chokwadi chiri kutonyanya kunetsa. 

“Mumakore 272 chete, takasundidzira kemisitiri yegadziriro dzokutsigira upenyu dzepasi kunzvimbo dzayakange isati yambovapo kwemakumi emamiriyoni emakore. Nhasi, tine kabhoni dhaikisaidhi mumhepo yakawanda kupfuura yatave tinayo kwemakore angangoita mamiriyoni makumi maviri nematatu… Uye nhasi, gungwa rine acidic zvakanyanya kupfuura zvazvave kwemakore 23 miriyoni.” 

"Icho ichokwadi chinotyisa," ndakaudza Mitchell panguva yake yekutarisa inzwi, ndizvo chaizvo izvo Mitchell anoda kuti vateereri vake vaite. Anoyeuka achiverenga mushumo mukuru wekutanga pagungwa acidification, yakaburitswa neRoyal Society yeLondon muna 2005. 

"Zvakaoma, zvakanyanya. Hapana aiziva nezvazvo,” Mitchell anombomira ndokunyemwerera zvake. “Vanhu vanga vasingataure nezvazvo. Ini ndaibva kune imwe ngarava yekutsvagisa ndichienda kune imwe, uye aya masayendisiti ane mukurumbira, uye ndaiti, 'Izvi ndizvo zvandichangobva kuwana,' uye ivo vaiti '…Chaizvo?'”

Sezvinotaurwa naMitchell, masayendisiti anga asiri kubatanidza zvese zvekutsvaga mugungwa. Pane kudaro, vakadzidza zvikamu zviduku zvegungwa rose. Vakanga vasati vaziva nzira yekubatanidza zvikamu izvi nemhepo yedu yepasi rose. 

Nhasi, yegungwa acidification sainzi chikamu chakakura kwazvo chenhaurirano dzepasirese uye kuumbwa kweiyo kabhoni nyaya. Uye kusiyana nemakore gumi nemashanu apfuura, masayendisiti ave kudzidza zvisikwa munzvimbo dzazvo dzechisikigo uye kubatanidza zvakawanikwa izvi kune zvakaitika mazana emamiriyoni emakore apfuura - kutsvaga mafambiro uye kukonzeresa mapoinzi kubva mukutsakatika kukuru kwakapfuura. 

Zvakaipa? "Ini ndinofunga isu tiri kuwedzera kuziva kuti idiki sei hwindo rekuita mutsauko uye kubvumira hupenyu sezvatinohuziva kuti huenderere mberi," Mitchell anotsanangura. Mumutambo wake anoti, “Iyi haisi sainzi yababa vangu. Mumazuva ababa vangu, masayendisiti akanga achiita basa rose kuti atarise mhuka imwe chete, kuona kuti vana vangani vanayo, zvavanodya, kuti inopedza sei nguva yechando. Zvaive… zvemahara. ”

Saka, chii chatingaita? 

“Tariro inzira. Haisi magumo. "

"Ndinoda kutora mashoko musayendisiti wezvemamiriro ekunze kubva kuColumbia University, anonzi Kate Marvel," Mitchell anombomira kwesekondi kuti arangarire. "Chimwe chezvaakataura pamusoro penguva pfupi yapfuura yemashumo kubva kuIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ndechekuti zvakakosha kuti ubate pfungwa mbiri mumusoro wako kamwechete. Imwe ndeyokuti pane zvakawanda zvinofanira kuitwa. Asi chimwe ndechokuti tasvika kure zvakadini, kare. Uye ndizvo zvandasvika. Kwandiri, tariro inzira. Haisi magumo. "

Munhoroondo yose yehupenyu hwepasi, iyi inguva isina kujairika. Asi maererano naMitchell, izvi zvinongoreva kuti tave panguva yakakwana mukushanduka-shanduka kwevanhu, kwatine “dambudziko rinoshamisa uye tinosvika pakuziva kuti torigadzirisa sei.”

“Ndinoda kuti vanhu vazive kuti chii chiri mungozi uye zvatiri kuita. Nekuti ndinofunga vanhu vanokanganwa nezvazvo. Asi ndinofungawo zvakakosha kuziva kuti mutambo hausati wapera. Tichine nguva yekuita kuti zvinhu zvive nani, kana tikasarudza. Uye ndipo panopinda theatre nehunyanzvi: ndinotenda kuti itsika ichaita kuti tisvike kwatinoda kuenda. "

Sehwaro hwenharaunda, The Ocean Foundation inoziva kutanga matambudziko mukusimudzira ruzivo rweveruzhinji nezvenyaya dzehuremu hwepasi rose apo ichipa mhinduro dzetariro. Unyanzvi hunoita basa rakakosha mukuturikira sainzi kune vateereri vanogona kunge vachidzidza nezvenyaya kekutanga, uye Sea Sick anoita izvozvo chaizvo. TOF inodada kushanda semubatsiri wekubvisa kabhoni neThe Theatre Center kutsigira kuchengetedza kwekugara kwemahombekombe uye kudzoreredza.
