At the heart ofHappy Apocalypse is Pearl, the first hybrid child in history, born of a fusion between human and Komodo monitor. Around her, a changing world takes shape, oscillating between scientific lucidity, hallucinatory delirium and metaphysical reflection. Happy Apocalypse crosses languages: contemporary theater, live music, choreography and dreamlike visual elements. Six actors and three musicians on stage would bring to life a gallery of characters as whimsical as they are endearing, in a universe that is at once strange, funny and sensitive.

The show would appeal to teenage and adult audiences, aged 13 and over, with an interest in plural art forms and non-linear narratives. Fans of musical stage creations, science-fiction theater, or works with a philosophical and ecological scope could find a rich and unexpected proposal. On the other hand, spectators attached to classical or realist dramaturgy may be disconcerted by this fragmented narrative, akin to a living installation.
