Bigre … dites Fish Bowl

Once upon a time today, in three small attic apartments in Paris, a big man, a tall thin man and a curvaceous blonde are neighbours. This would be a romantic story if it wasn’t forthe fact that these three odd-balls have a special talent for messing things up. Messing everything up. With one disaster leading to another amidst a deluge of jokes, this quirky trio cling to anything that looks like love, life or hope.

In a Grand-Guignolesque performance, objects fly around, characters fall flat on their faces and the whole stage is in total disarray from the various fires, leaks, storms and other whacky unexpected accidents that culminate in a dizzying chaos. Endearing, laugh-inducing and irresistible, our three anti-heroes shock us just as much as they make us cry…with laughter.
