French artists Halory Goerger and Antoine Defoort create one of the most talked-about recent works of contemporary international theater. Supremely clever and deeply philosophical in approach, Germinal asks: if we had the opportunity to start the world from scratch, how would we do it? In under an hour, four fearless characters cheerfully remake social codes, laws of physics, philosophy, music, and human communication using telepathy, pickaxes, microphones, electric guitars, and four-part harmony.
Germinal was the hit of the 2013 Avignon Festival and has toured widely in Europe. In French with English surtitles.
