La Soupe Cie adapts AND THEN for the stage – a poetic and fascinating picture book by the author-illustrator duo Icinori.

Set in a world of puppets and manipulated images, the wordless story unfolds against a backdrop of a wild and lush landscape. From September to August, scenes populated by animals, fantastical creatures and harmless humans come to life against a backdrop that shifts between the realistic and the phantasmagorical. But, as the months pass, men with tool-like heads relentlessly – and seemingly without emotion – alter every element of the landscape.

A world of visuals, sound and music, oscillating between dreamlike fantasy and reality, inviting children to reflect on the fragility of nature and the upheavals in our world.
