Les Wriggles à la cigale
Cinq drôles de bonhommes rouges qui chantent en racontant des histoires avec pour seul instrument... une guitare. Impossible de ne pas rester l'oreille accrochée aux textes tant ils sont remplis de réalité parfois violente, satirique, politique ou absurde. Un travail de mise en scène hallucinant et un véritable spectacle théâtral.
