ZOO / OR THE PHILANTHROPIC MURDERER
Vercors, Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota • in the “ART & SCIENCE PROGRAM”
A legal investigation into what makes human identity and what the future holds for it. A fable of philosophy and fantasy based on the novel Unnatural Animals.
ZOO conjures up our past and drafts our future, using both fantasy and knowledge to address the question so topical today on the links between animals and humans.
The play stands as a fascinating and modern intellectual adventure that includes the most recent advances in science and philosophy.
The scene on stage is a trial: the reporter Douglas Templemore has deliberately killed his child with poison. But the child looks strangely like an ape, and the mother is a tropi. Is the infant really a human being?
TÉLÉRAMA
With magical chiaroscuro and an esthetic choice embracing fact and fiction, plus input from the successful collaboration with figures from the world of science and healthcare, Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota has made a daring production to inspire reflection and reverie.
LE MONDE
Zoo performed with speed and agility (…) has the audience in suspense. Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota has mastered the art of inspiring his actors who convey the voice of Vercors, the author of the text. Fifty years on, the call to resist is still heard.
