In this wacky version set in rural France, Robert, an autist, lives with his domineering mother in a caravan. He invents a rickety teleportation machine, but ends up teleporting his neigthbour Marie-Pièrre (played by co-director Valerie Lesort) into vaccuum. Robert then makes a fatal gaffe and genetically fuses with a fly.
In a first part of series about French theatre, Arnab Béranger takes a look at the Bouffes du Nord, a theatre-cum music-hall in Paris' popular La Chapelle area.
