The Rabbit Problem

Vertical Détour Company

(Bagnolet)

From rabbit hutches to industrial farming, from the invasive species that has destroyed numerous ecosystems to the one sentinto space by the Russians in 1959 to the stuffed animals that sit happily on our children’s beds, rabbits continue to challenge the boundaries of our world. Perceived as the source of many ills, they have come to be seen as a symbol of the planet’s poor health—a marker of the processes of impoverishment and extinction of life, and ultimately of themselves. But are rabbits really that stupid? In just over an hour, the two actors/

lecturers weave together questions and answers to impose the “deadpan erudition” of a theatrical universe bordering on the absurd. A truly exhilarating fake lecture exploring the evolution of the rabbit. And while rabbit is good in a stew, it’s succulent on stage.
