Potato Heart

Jeanne Guillou + TOF Théâtre (BE)
A tender, heartless story

We catch the moment when a young, hungry vagrant finds an old potato amongst the rubbish. But her meagre meal is determined to live and hangs on for dear life. In an intimate encounter, the potato and the vagabond meet and get to know each other in a gentle blend of tender and spiteful exchanges. As funny as it is touching.
