Thanks to advancements in technology, we've never had so much free time, yet we still feel overwhelmed.

How do you explain this paradox?

For three months, the Museum of Civilizations, Europe and the Mediterranean organizes every Monday a

Trial of the century.

Citizen deliberations on the excesses of our contemporary societies that impact time, space or vegetation.

This week, the public must decide: do we still have the mastery of time?

What are the causes of this great acceleration that we feel?

Are we the victims or the culprits?
