Transformism as a brilliant lesson in life in this revision of one of Platel's most celebrated shows
Alain Platel, a key figure in European theatre, returns to the festival with a new version of one of his most emblematic shows. A brilliant tribute to the ambiguity of genders, survival and a reflection on the passage of time.
