Sinopse
At the boundary between the human and the puppet, the peasant and the scarecrow, the five masked characters of Farm Fatale appear and settle against a spotless white background. The audience is then led into a world highly evocative of the farm, where lives a group of poet scarecrows that run an independent radio station, sing, play music, invent slogans. These contemplative clowns striving for a better world are mostly daydreamers, poets and activists with a charming and intoxicating tendency to marvel at the beauty and diversity of nature, trying to steer clear of a rampant capitalism that destroys forests, lands, and oceans.
Philippe Quesne created Vivarium Studio in 2003 as a laboratory for theatrical innovation. Then he works studying small communities under his microscope and using the scenography as an ecosystem in which he immerses his actors. His works (La Mélancolie des dragons, L’Effet de Serge, etc.) compose a repertory that tours all over the world. From 2014 to 2021, he directed the Nanterre-Amandiers theatre and among others created Farm Fatale at Munich Kammerspiele. Most recently, he created a play without actors Fantasmagoria with Vidy-Lausanne theatre.
