THE THIEF’S TALE AND OTHER WILD STORIES
octobre 21@20:00 - 22:00
What would drive you to theft: hunger? vengeance? to save a life?
Throw caution to the wind with Daniel Morden as he conjures a folkloric fever-dream full of the fantastic triumphs and farcical mishaps of a reluctant hero of the people. Expect absurd tales of wool pulling, boat rocking, petty theft and grand larceny in this comic and creepy show, complete with giant cow-eating cats! Brimming with wild legend, low cunning, high drama and last-minute escapes from certain death. Come and shake a fist at the ludicrous order of things…
