Callipolis : une discussion surprise sur l'utopie !

Dans la cadre du dispositif "Arts en classe", le 24 novembre 2024, les élèves de TG7 ont été littéralement "pris par surprise" par les deux comédiens, Marie et Rubens, mis en scène par Jacques Allaire, intervenus en classe pour présenter ce que serait leur monde utopique. Pièce immersive, les élèves ont assisté à une discussion philosophique sur le sujet, les prenant à partie à différents moments. 

Le document suivant a été rédigé par cinq élèves de TG7, voulant à leur tour réfléchir et partager ce qui serait pour eux leur monde utopique. 

Our Utopia

Hello, we are four students in terminal class who want to share differents utopia tomorrow's world.

Hello, my name is Liam, and today I will explain to you what my Utopia could look like.

In my utopian world, I would include only futuristic technological objects, while retaining all the problems and natural disasters of today. These technological advancements would allow us to adapt more easily to these catastrophes and make our lives easier. The world would be filled with autonomous and floating houses equipped with advanced technology that can float and move on water, thereby avoiding problems related to rising sea levels.

Each house would also have its own floating and flying garden to provide itself with the necessary food and maintain a balanced diet. Some technological advances would also enable us to move freely through teleportation to avoid the pollution caused by transportation.Additionally, all social interactions could be done through telepathy to eliminate the excessive consumption of phones or social networks, reducing pollution associated with these technological devices significantly.

I would also like each inhabitant to have their own magical unicorn for entertainment, and there would be a dedicated center for raising these mythical animals to admire and breed them. I would create a place where everyone, including extraterrestrials, could come together to exchange and communicate, providing an interesting dynamic.

Lastly, I envision a museum where the strangest dreams could be explored.

 Hello, my name is Julia and i will go to present my utopia.

In first, all people are treated equally, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion or social status. In second, Education is free, accessible to all and of the highest quality.

Everyone has the opportunity to develop their talents and pursue their passions. Renewable energies are widely used, biodiversity is preserved, and waste production is minimized.

People live in harmony with nature. Healthcare is accessible to all. Mental health is also a priority, with support services and initiatives to reduce stress and anxiety.
The nations of the world are working together to tackle global challenges such as climate change, poverty and conflict. People are encouraged to learn from each other, share their traditions and live in mutual respect. Economic inequalities are reduced.

Technological advances aim to improve quality of life and solve problems. And finally, society values mental, emotional and physical well-being. Citizens are encouraged to take care of themselves and others.

Hello my name is Lola, I will share with you my utopia of the world of tomorrow.

In an ideal world, all continents would be stuck together.
All cities would be connected by rapid air, land and water transport.
The landscape will be a mix between futuristic with new technologies and very vegetated. Animals would live in harmony with humans. We can talk to them so we can meet their needs and help us too. There would be schools where students would only have classes in the morning and in the afternoon, they would do activities Gender equality will be respected.

The normal things in life would be free: sanitary napkins, tampons, etc but al so basic foods (like paws, rice, etc.)

Hello, my name is Nathan, and today I will explain to you what my Utopia could look like.

Firstly the aspect,
It’s a planet, divided into two world. The first world is a futuristic world at the top of the tecnologia such as the video game « Cyber Punk ». The second one is a world more rustic and more based on the survival aspect of the life. These two world are link by a portal, located at a place called, the Capital of the World.

Futuria,
Futuria is a world base on the fact that there is only one man who rule the world called « The Guide », he’s located at the Capital of the World, and he takes care of travels between the two worlds, of the economy and of people responsible for the security of citizens, whether police officers, firefighters, doctors etc... The architecture is very different, the city is made with very high buildings which can reach undred of meters, cities are always illuminate thanks to many neons present in the streets. Streets are always clean and common animals such as dogs, cats and birds can be found on the streets, bringing life to the them even when no one is around. The currency use in this world is the Fria. You can receive Fria by the fact of working, you can work for « The Guide » (as firefighter...) or in a job that continue to need humans which is not connect to « The Guide » (many people are replaced by AI like servers in restaurant…). The mode of transport in this world is common, it’s the UFT (Ultra Fast Train) and it passes at every stop each 5 minutes. You can also study in schools to improve your knowledge but it’s not something mandatory.
To conclude in one sentence Futuria is a world where you can make things you’re dreaming about on earth, in cities totaly different as cities we know.

Survia,
Survia is a world which in a sens, bring people back in the past. It’s a world were no one is the chief, and were no one rule the world. This world at the opposite of Futuria is a world not very developed. There is no cities but only village without a lot of people. Houses are curently in wood stone and straw. The life is based on hunting, fishing and gathering but also on framing raw materials. In Survia you can explore the world by your own and face an « infinity » of different landscapes and meet a lot of animals never seen anywere else. Indeed you can choose to live here you want with who you want. The enconomy is based on trade so there is no currency.
To conclude in one sentence Survia is a world were you can go were you want, when you want, with who you want to feel the wind in your hair when you wake up and feel the heat of the fire camp close to your hand when the sun is sleeping.

More informations :
I chose to make my utopia like this because i really like this two aspect of the reality, the futuristic one where the life is easier for everyone, where you can make things incredible when you wake up and were when you go out of your home you feel like you are in a video game, but i also really like the aspect of Survia because it realy bring you close to the nature, and in found the fact of making everything by your self is insanely cool. It’s also because my bigest dream is to go around the world to see different landscape so it’s why i chose to make it like that.

We have seen a play and we love this. After we had desire to write our utopia. In different moment of the play, we recognized ourselves in the story and it touched us.
