La Déferlante – Le Roi des Petits-Boutistes

Object theatre with egg supplement - for all audiences aged 6 and over
Running time: 45 min.

Inspired by Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels...
Small or big? That's the question... "Where do you start eating a soft-boiled egg?" This existential problem is at the root of a bloody war between Small-Boutists and Big-Boutists in a faraway kingdom... In spite of herself, Lemuelle Gulliver, a renowned scientist, finds herself thrown into this conflict. Estranged from his people, the King of the Eggs, using the stability of the kingdom as an excuse, indulges in his favourite hobby, war. With a soft spot for exterminating the opposition. In this political satire, the Cie du Botte-Cul questions the choices we make when a government goes adrift and runs aground on the shores of authoritarianism, and revolutionises breakfasts. So, what's it to you, big or small?
