Quand Les Moules Auront Des Dents create their street shows by inviting the audience to a sense of intimacy and closeness. They adopt from gestural theatre, clowns, jesters and masks, taking human beings as their raw material, which they inspect and dissect. They have one essential ingredient: laughter. Quand Les Moules Auront Des Dents likes to change reality, twist it and caricature it to the point of absurdity. Laughter is his mechanism for taking drama out of life, for making fears tolerable. A filter to see the small details that make life so precious.
A bench and these two little old ladies who watch time go by. They are never where you expect them to be, sometimes mischievous, often irreverent, always playful, these two slightly sadistic and humorous grannies offer a sometimes sweet, sometimes harsh and cruel view of the world around them.
Amusing and delirious, the two drag us into their burlesque and absurd world in which old age is depicted and thwarted. Almost without words, they hold their touch of madness like a treasure and launch an invisible war against boredom and the time which is slipping away, against death which will soon come. Germaine & Germaine are like a small remedy against loneliness and all-round indifference. A peppermint sweet, spicy and refreshing, that melts with lightning speed, to finally remind us that from the heights of our loneliness, it is better to be united, to laugh and to share.
