What we feared has come: a pandemic, a climate catastrophe, a meteor strike – an apocalypse, the end of the world.
People are gone or almost gone.
A dystopian landscape.
Those who once lived next to us are running around the empty city; those we hugged, who gave us comfort – our PETS.
A dog calls to other dogs, a cat watches everything from the window, two parrots fly around in search of food.
A snake crawls out of a terrarium, a rabbit left a cage, a fish jumps on the floor without water.
Robert Bolesto's new play offers actors and viewers a strange adventure: let's escape from man, let's stop being people for an hour, let's imagine that we are our animals.
As in dance, let's reject what binds and imprisons us, our fear of the inevitable end, as in dance let's trust our body, instinct, let's trust ourselves.
In theatre, everything is possible, here you can be whoever you want. Even a Stone that talks to a Grain of Sand.
