Talking Theatre: Post-show discussion on Friday 7 October with Antoine Defoort and members of the company.

Performed in French with English surtitles.

 

Show Time: 19:30 | 90 mins

Two friends meet in the forest.

Michel, seated on a stump, listens to his old friend Taylor talking about what’s been happening for the last two years. (Michel is really out of the loop because he’s been off doing deep-mindfulness in a kind of ashram of the future.) (Oh yeah, all this takes place in the future by the way.)

Michel has so many questions. To answer these questions, we also need to cover the basics: paradoxical magic, sylvotherapy, the placebo effect, the theory of logomorphic Pokemons™, the renewal of the modalities of democratic debate and how to surf on the rivers of fear that flow everywhere.

A witty and charming work from the artist whose international breakthrough, Germinal, previously played at the festival.
