Horizons. In a no man’s land that resembles a kind of purgatory, three characters — Ben, Dom, and Max — stand before an inscrutable horizon, unable to grasp where they are or even who they are. Have they survived a plane crash, fallen into a coma, or are they drifting through space at the edge of a black hole? Through dialogues mixing absurdity, dark humour, and cosmic vertigo, they explore the limits of consciousness, language, and memory.
Surviving Mankind. On an Earth rendered uninhabitable by catastrophic climate collapse, humanity is gasping its last breaths. Between dark comedy, moral dilemma and dystopian suspense, Surviving Mankind exposes the fragile architecture of human hope.
Stories and Prehistories. The play blends registers: anthropological farce, social satire and anachronistic dystopia. By transposing contemporary tensions into a fantastical prehistory, Jean-Pierre Martinez creates a comedy of displacement in which the supposedly “primitive” Bohosapiens reveal warmth and clumsy humanity, while the “civilised” Newanderthals embody arrogance, consumerism and polite brutality.
