Two puppeteers a little insane are bringing with them a massive weapon of hilarity: they draw Polichinelle, the most famous puppet in the world and, with unbridled enthusiasm, get ready to perform a show of which exceptional qualities they have proclaimed. But, as planned, nothing goes as planned. Welcome to the hilarious frenzy of a new version of Polichinelle where he appears in his most wild outburst, in an explosive rhythm, provoking roars of laughter that strike indiscriminately kids as much as adults. Because Polichinelle laughs at everything. Death included. On a staggering rhythm and with bursts of laughter, the two puppet masters bring alive a dusted-off Polichinelle, and skilfully take us between tradition and modernity. Behind these playful jokes, La Pendue offers, as much to adults as to children, a provocative show with an impudent and unashamed style.
