A show stuffed with human, animal and vegetable moments. Moments full of instincts and primary intuitions : sense of smell and taste, sufferings, laughters and samplings.
The life and transformation of food is the main axis of a plot with vegetable roots which are transformed thanks to the ingenuity of these characters, great manipulators of concepts, elements and foodstuffs.
This is a show written around the poetic relation between humans and animals, the circus and the cannibal versus the vegetarian.
Nothing is easy and nothing is what it seems. Everything is pure fiction of reality and everything is reality in fiction.
Subtly provoking the collective consciousness by highlighting our human tendency to build castles made of sand, to build only to destroy, to live to die, to make only to unmake, to know to remain ignorant. All of which concepts we build on top of weak and shaky foundations.
In the show, we play with them, we make them resound, we make them obvious ; we bring them into existence only later make them disappear, crying, laughing, playing, dancing, challenging,...
.. a cry for freedom, for the imagination...
