With infectious energy and ferocious humor, seven clowns invite the audience to take a poetic, playful, and joyful journey to the origins of our humanity. What is the clown's first act? And what did this "animal" look like in the wild before it was domesticated? Both monstrous and wildly endearing, these clowns revisit the first sparks, the ones that gave rise to the very first bursts of laughter...

"Caroline Obin creates a raw poetry of the body that gives a place to the first actions and stammerings, to the primary instincts of our dreamed life."
