21 April – 5 May

Porculuce

Directed and adapted by Laure-Isabelle Blanchet, Porculuce follows a young sow who loves mud and sets off to find a new promised ground when automation and obsessive cleanliness erase her joy. Performed by Delphine Barut, Delphine Delabeye and Laure-Isabelle Blanchet, the show animates a cheerful menagerie through varied puppetry—large body and rod puppets for the big animals, and rod and hand puppets for smaller creatures. Playful yet pointed, it juxtaposes 1970s hygienism with twenty‑first‑century hyperconnectivity to explore autonomy and freedom for children.
