A marionette epic that is as ecological as it is poetic, Spécimen takes us on a dizzying reverse journey through 3.8 billion years of evolution. Following Lucy, a supermarket employee suddenly propelled out of the “capitalocene,” we travel back through the ages of life on Earth, shifting perspectives and questioning what it means to be human today. Both intimate and spectacular, this “prehisto-evolutionary” fable blends theatre and puppetry to speak as much to teenagers as to adults, celebrating the vital energy that persists through extinctions, upheavals, and renewals — and opening the door to other possible futures.

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.
