Bilboquets

France

Actress Pauline Laurendeau (a member of the ARFI collective) presents *Bilboquets*, a one-woman show that’s anything but ordinary. Have you heard of the gardener who lived on a flower bed so narrow that he eventually flattened himself into 2D? One day, in a fit of hypermnesic crisis, he created a vengeful operetta, in which he revived all the unbearable vocal textures and anthropogenic practices he had amassed over the course of his pitiful life.

Unfortunately, he cannot be with us tonight. Instead, there will be a quarrelsome but honest janitor, ghostly refrains, and even a resilient bush; but above all, the great storyteller of this tale—a manic-depressive bard—who will attempt to make sense of this constellation.
