About Volvac

Volvac is a FICTIONAL brand of mineral water, invented for the purpose of this show. Our piece is a dystopia in which all of the water resources are owned and selled by this single firm. As a consequence prices are sky high and people are struggling to afford drinking or showering. 

​

The piece takes place at the Volvac Welcome Desk, were audience members are invited to take a seat and wait to receive free water allowance. However, in spite of registering on the website www.volvac.fr (see below) and listening to all the advertisements and tips from the hostess, it seems their water stipend will not come...

​

I was inspired in devising those advertisements, by the greenwashing policies of all water brands, which untruthfully claim to care about the environment although many of them (Volvic, Vittel, Evian) are currently being sued for polluting forest soils with plastic and endangering surrounding rivers. Which is why our fake brand Volvac takes pride in being the only remaining access to water. As a substitute for wildlife gone extinct, Volvac offers miniature Droughtsmart trees for your office and a simulation of ocean ecosystem named Aquamind.

​

In addition, Volvac claims to care about people and it's political power is amongst other things related to the fact that it is a firm which employs one out of 6 people in the world !
