Farm Fatale

Dublin Theatre Festival: PHILIPPE QUESNE/VIVARIUM STUDIO, FRANCE present

14-15 October 2022

A person sits down holding a guitar. They are wearing an abstract mask. They wear yellow dungarees and green welly boots, sitting on a bale of hay. The background is white and a black and white object hangs above.
In the post-human future of Farm Fatale five scarecrows miss the birds, which have all disappeared.

In the post-human future of Farm Fatale five scarecrows miss the birds, which have all disappeared. French artist Philippe Quesne renowned for his inventive set designs, has created an evening of theatre that’s as magical as it is ironic, as activist as it is melancholy, and as gentle as it is catastrophic.

In the artificial setting of a white stage, straw bales lie around like props from a bygone age. Our own age. Reflecting topical ecological and political issues in a poetic form, Philippe Quesne transforms one scene of Farm Fatale into a message referring to the current situation.

‘“To bee or not to bee”: the urgent question is treated with joyful and striking inventiveness.’— La Terrasse

Performed in English Please note there is an added booking fee of €1.50 on all full-price Dublin Theatre Festival events.
