L’ARCHE PART À HUIT HEURES
Ulrich Hub / Théâtre de la Ville Troupe

AN IRRESISTIBLE PHILOSOPHICAL COMEDY ABOUT THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A BAND OF PLUCKY PENGUINS
Three inseparable penguins are killing time on an iceberg, debating metaphysics, when a dove interrupts their conversation to warn them of imminent danger. A massive flood is coming to cover the entire earth. Noah is offering animals a place on his Ark, but on one condition, there must be only two per species. But our three penguin friends have no intention of splitting up. How can they get on board without being noticed? This rapid-paced existential comedy speaks of the consequences of climate change through an animal tale. With unfailing humour and delightful twists and turns, this short piece celebrates cooperation, solidarity and tolerance and leaves us with hope for a better future.
