Summary:

A fox playing the violin, a boar playing the bagpipes and a stag playing the double bass lead the humans with poetry. They play ploughing songs and forgotten dances, and tell the story of rural life as experienced by the actors. Jacques' farm has burnt down. What's to be done?

Les Animaux de la Compagnie come up with zany solutions and emergency plans to get out of a situation that already seems very serious.

Élevage is a stroll between past and present, mixing theatre, dance, music and song, and playing with the environment, space and storms. It's a show about the rural world and how it's changing. A satirical fable where the animals lead the way. It's also about today's world.
