Les Gros patinet bien is a wildly inventive comedy featuring just two performers and 150 cardboard boxes.

With roller skates, scooters, planes, and even a mule, the duo creates a hilarious, high-energy performance full of physical comedy, absurdity, and imagination. This clever mix of stillness and motion earned the show the 2022 Molière Prize for Best Public Theatre.
