Creepy the dolphin

Provocative and playful, the artist this time leads us behind the scenes of a water park that is as pathetic as it is disturbing, where the unsettling relationship between the park's captive star "Philippe the dolphin" and his trainer is unveiled. Between biting humour and gleeful unease, the show turns perspectives upside down and shakes up certainties. "Freaky is everything that escapes us and that we can't manage to control," mentions the director. Through this offbeat show, the artist questions captivity in all its forms: that of animals, but also that we impose upon ourselves by repressing our fears, our angers and our impulses. The trainer, dependent on the public's gaze just like the dolphin on its reward, finds himself trapped by the show he must put on in order to survive. Little by little, the boundary between man and animal cracks, allowing madness, instinct and animosity to emerge.
