We are on the coast of the Lake Geneva, not far from the Vidy-Lausanne theatre, where the show has been created. Mary Shelley wrote her famous novel, Frankenstein The Modern Prometheus, in 1818, being one of the few myths of the modern culture opening up the way to science fiction. Jean-François Peyret explores the fantasy of this monstrous creature when he envisions four actors closed up in a theatre while the world gets totally out of order and the climate disrupted. What stories will they tell? Artificial intelligence, genetic manipulations… The Monster Factory is an odd laboratory where art and science could easily engender something dreadful!
