Prologue, a choreographic fable interpreted by Grégoire Manhes, is a sort of contemporary tortoise and hare story, in which a forest ranger is confronted with a mysterious interlocutor during a highly unusual job interview. Confronting two protagonists with very different perspectives, the piece opposes two visions of Nature, one seemingly visionary and innovative, the other calmer and more authentic. Manipulations, deaf dialogues, false pretenses - what if this Prologue was the beginning of a beautiful friendship?
Imagined as a prequel, this solo revisits the absurd, uchronic universe of Plantasia.
