Night of the Moles (Welcome to Caveland!)
Once seven moles, digging their burrows, landed on a theatre stage. And suddenly the spectators could watch these underground creatures living, eating, sleeping, dying, working, giving birth, copulating, having fun and starting a rock band… Seven moles living together – a utopia for a supposedly solitary animal! Night of the Moles plunges the audience into a parallel world, free of words and of humans, a world that was conquered by claws and pickaxes… but also an electric world that vibrates with the underground music we hear in our garages and basements. This is blunt and explosive show. In this plastic and cardboard underground, furnished with styrofoam rocks and wooden shelters, a precarious reality is transposed with poetic rage into the liminal and fantasmatic world of caves. Remnants of ancient myths, the atmosphere of social science fiction films, and the shadows of early cinema are blended together with a punkish glee.
