A drowsing youth dreams of three extra-terrestrials, traveling in a flying saucer which lands on planet Earth. Overwhelmed by everything they see, they begin a series of experiments in an attempt to understand the usefulness of each device they encounter. In their explorations of this fascinating new world, the three green men drift little by little from dream to reality. In this show, created at Centre Pompidou, TNB associate artist, Valérie Mréjen and her creative team enlisted the services of Xavier Droualt, a renowned sound effects engineer who works for the movie industry. After 5 weeks of sound trials and experimentations their original theatrical and sound production came to fruition.
The result is an oneiric journey where the gestures and language of the extra-terrestrials contribute to the development of amazing characters. Their somewhat robotic movements are gradually embellished with hilarious, harebrained onomatopoeia. Their inappropriate use of everyday items triggers uninterrupted bouts of laughter from the audience, both young and old. These green men eat vegetables as green as they are, use and abuse wild insults, and delight the audience, transported on a journey full of charming visual and sound effects.
