A must-see show by the Compagnie Renards, in which an encounter between a young boy and a Cro-Magnon man sets in motion the most wonderful of adventures: travelling through the past to better understand the present.
If, after that, there are still children who get bored at the theatre, we’ll throw in the towel.
With an Indiana Jones-style sense of adventure, our two characters – a self-conscious teenager and a mysterious caveman – take a fast-forwarded look at the history of humanity, to reassure themselves about our species, which is capable of both the worst and
the best.
One of the finest performances at the Avignon Festival
