Inspired by François Rabelais' The Life of Gargantua and Pantagruel, director Silviu Purcârete created this silent piece using rhythmic body movements. Quite removed from traditional theatre vocabulary, this progressive piece is bound to meet with great success wherever it is performed — no translation is necessary.
Opening date: May 28, 2003.
Running time: 1 hour and 20 minutes.
