French politics with sci-fi underbelly

A theatre show that feels like a walk in the woods, about new ways of debating in politics, with at least six very good jokes and lots of ‘alive’ ideas. That is in short the best way to characterise Noorderzon favourites Antoine Defoort and L’Amicale’s latest work. Four times before they performed at our festival – among others with Germinal, the ever so witty as well as funny stage play about human history, which lead to their international breakthrough. In Elles Vivent two friends Michel and Taylor meet each other in the woods. Michel has stopped following the news for two years.

The only theatre show about politics that we beg you to go and see in these times.
