Polynie
utopian fantasy
Creation summer 2022
50 minute fixed show
Description
Five busy, hyper-connected, stressed men and women come and go with their giant suitcase, hurrying and stressing themselves until they break, shock, daze.
From this state will be born around them and in them new forms of symbols of life, of connection to nature and to the beings that populate it...
Taking the emblematic character of the Penguin to express the fragility of the current world and the necessary solidarity to get us out of our "human, too human" functioning...
What better way to express this world than through the play of metamorphoses, one of the trademarks of the Compagnie des Quidams?
