LES MUTANTS is the first professional collaboration between Claire Heggen and Yves Marc of the Theatre du Mouvement. Since its creation, it has obtained the Edinburgh Fringe Festival's First Award and toured Africa, America, Asia and Europe. Claire Heggen and Yves Marc continued to perform the piece in its entirety until 1992, and still perform extracts to this day.
This performance is a fictional reinvention of the creation of man and woman from primordial chaos. Starting as an inseparable ball, they embody the poetic movement of various states, becoming animal, water, air, and finally, human. Through writing of extreme precision, the two develop virtuosic new registers of movement around one of their favourite themes: the animality of humans.
