Le Phun - "Les Gûmes"

From France

Creating strange and ephemeral transformations of place, Le Phun will construct six magical installations focusing on things that grow from the earth. These are Les Gûmes, peculiar half-human and half-plant beings from the vegetable kingdom that welcome guests into their world, and are ironically very similar to us. Audiences in small groups will progress through the performance installations throughout each day of the festival until dusk, to be amused, delighted and connected with another world.
