A poetic and crazy odyssey, a veritable fireworks display of cardboard cut-outs, crowned Best Public Theatre Show at the Molières 2022!

After Bigre, Molière for Best Comedy 2017, Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan, in a fireworks display of cardboard cut-outs, invite you on an imaginary journey, a fusion of the wild antics of a 'cartoon' cabaret and a Shakespearean epic. He leaves the plains of the Great North, cursed by a mermaid accidentally caught. He escapes on skates, a scooter, a cardboard plane. He discovers Scotland, heads south again on a mule, murders a few bagpipers along the way, always searching for love. But the actor in a three-piece suit remains seated – that's the madness of the show. His sidekick in a swimsuit bustles around him with hundreds of pieces of cardboard on which are written the names of countries, accessories or creatures encountered. Daring adventures unfolded with ingenuity and gags, it's an explosion of brilliant and wacky ideas.
