Terror is like a journey through suffering where empathy and identifying mix with pity, sadness and all-saving humour.   

There is a puppet on the stage that looks like it has been skinned alive. Its gestures, breathing and voice lock the viewer in a vague space-time. Puppeteer Antonin Lebrun has said that the initial impulse for this work was an inexplicable feeling that just needed to get out. Led by this feeling, he created a production with a broad spectrum of content and form, drawing inspiration from subjects as various as Plato’s allegory of the cave to modern dance and film.
