Marion Thomas
Marion Thomas creates a joyous, political odyssey about the power of the collective. With a devastating sense of humour and a stage play somewhere between theatre and documentary, the artist uses scientific data to turn clichés about human nature on their head. Immersed in a pixelated meadow reminiscent of a retro video game, the audience becomes a herd on the move. Attacked by wolves and confronted with a simulated disaster before a final karaoke, Faire Troupeau is a journey through our instincts of solidarity that is as playful as it is clear-headed.
