Event Description

About Zig Zags to Earth     

Zig is on an intergalactic mission to save his planet. He is searching for a miraculous liquid which leads him to Earth. Here, Zig discovers that the miraculous liquid he was looking for is water. He begins a journey to understand where it comes from, tracing it back from a tap to its natural origins and processes. Zig is spellbound with the journey of water on Earth and all the forms and shapes it can take. But when he sees how humans treat this miraculous liquid, he decides that the best thing to do is to transport all the water on Earth back to his planet. He is told that he shouldn’t do that because water is necessary for the survival of human beings on Earth. Zig is full of questions for the Earthlings–but the biggest one is about our attitude towards this life-saving liquid. Do humans have an answer to his question? What will Zig do now? Join us on Zig’s journey to find out!
