Le fric show

This satirical show revolves around themes such as money, business leaders, small tax payers, Canadian banknotes, the national wallet. Its challenge: ubiquitous consumption, pressure selling, globalization. Its goal: to demonstrate that the consumer has more power than one might think and that choices are offered to him on a daily basis. The show is not a public affairs or journalistic show. It is a "hybrid", mixing fiction, information from real and verified facts, as well as sketches, all in a humorous, sarcastic, caustic and entertaining tone. Slightly pamphleteer, it has a clear bias: to convince that the overconsumption of our societies is a circus, a decoy, a madness. With a little atmosphere à la Barnum, the show and its baroque setting has secondary characters like Gus, a bodybuilder, Poussin, the dwarf, whipping boy from the Cash Show, and Pichounette, a contortionist.
