The evolution of mankind and the universe prepped in a pressure cooker and tastily served to you on stage. It is what the French theatre maker Philippe Quesne performs in his new show Big Bang. Big Bang takes place on an island where a group of castaways reinvent the world and history unfolds itself in an accelerated fashion. First there's vegetative life, then there’s animal life. What happens when man appears?
