The Théâtre de Poche’s Review:
When the form becomes as compelling as the content
Ego Sapiens displays a creative freedom that commands admiration. Nothing is showy, nothing is gratuitous: everything is conceived with remarkable precision. Theater, the body, movement, and humor intertwine to give rise to a hybrid form that is as original as it is powerful. Funny, intelligent, and masterful, this production showcases a stage direction of rare inventiveness.
A profoundly unique production that testifies to the vitality and audacity of today’s theater.
How do you disconnect when your smartphone is at once your friend, your compass, your therapist, your guardian angel, and your worst enemy?
Etienne, who works at an ad agency, is a dynamic, stressed-out “homo sapiens numericus” addicted to his smartphone.
He never misses an opportunity to chat with Siri, that intrusive, know-it-all artificial intelligence.
His lifestyle is turned upside down when he’s forced to work with Caro, a boho-eco-friendly hipster, to create the ad for the new Yphone 20.
A contemporary, visually driven comedy blending theater, dance, physical theater, which explores the impact of digital technology on the environment and addresses our dependence on smartphones with plenty of lightheartedness and humor. But not too much.
