Les Gros Patinent Bien // Compagnie Le Fils du Grand Réseau

Cardboard theatre / 1h30 / from 10 years old

With cardboard as their only prop, Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan have imagined a crazy journey, full of humour and surprises, which won them the Molière 2022 for best public theatre show.
In enigmatic language, a man in a three-piece suit recounts his incredible adventures: his exile from the plains of the Far North, his discovery of Scotland, his escapes on skates, scooters and even planes, and his never-ending quest for love. But while the actor remains seated, almost motionless, his sidekick in a swimming costume flaps around him with hundreds of pieces of cardboard. With each piece of cardboard, a new country, accessory or animal appears. An explosive show, with visual gags and burlesque situations following one another at a frenetic pace. An explosion of brilliant, outlandish ideas, brought to life by an incredible duo!
