Ended

Description

Poetic and humorous…the six guys of Machine de Cirque have everything it takes to please. The only catch: they are alone in the world. Their quest: to contact other survivors with the help of a strange machine. Will they succeed? Nothing could be less certain! They are easily distracted by their unusual fantasies and have a definite talent for getting themselves into perilous situations. It couldn’t be more normal! How else could they survive this universe devoid of women and computers?

Daring, touching and comical, these six wacky characters have a contagious complicity. They masterfully handle a teeterboard, juggling pins, drums and even a bath towel!

THE COMPANY
