Le Truc sur le feu

Description

Fire. This thing as fascinating as it is dangerous. It illuminates, cooks, repels predators, and saves precious time. Before its discovery, humans had to endure darkness, cold, and eat raw. How did its domestication shape our evolution? Le Truc sur le feu unfolds a playfully offbeat tale around one of humanity's greatest technological advances. On stage, two Paleolithic clans marvel and clash, igniting as much as they consume themselves.
Behind the grotesque of certain situations – accentuated by the choice of Kokoschka puppets – the show questions the notion of progress and the upheavals shaking our modern societies. Marked by incisive humor, Romane Nicolas's writing dissects notions of individualism and collectivity, animality and civilization, nature and culture. At a time when everything is ablaze, one question remains: which path to choose?
