L.U.C.A (Last Universal Common Ancetor)

Shows-L.U.C.A (Last Universal Common Ancestor)

In search of our origins, A joyful and impactful odyssey, On the trace of our oldest common ancestor.
When they are in Italy, the country left by their ancestors to come and work in the mines, They are told that they are Belgian. But with them, in Belgium, We keep repeating them that they are Italian ... Where do they come from? To this question anything but trivial, Hervé Guerrisi and Grégory Carnoli no longer know what to answer. The two actors, Migrant grandsons, Then decide to redo the path in the opposite direction. They go together on an adventure, in the footsteps of their own genealogies.
Hervé and Grégory take us on a twirling theatrical journey, where they question our identities and our inheritance. Over the course of their research, They meet the stories, overlap their sources, question their families, Not without clashes or difficulties. Their shipping leads them from Brussels to Italy, from Swiss customs to an American DNA test laboratory, Where they seek to understand where this blood flows in their veins comes from. Retracing the migrations of their ancestors, They deliver the depths of time in a delirious manner, and come across a small cell, 3,8 billion years. At the origin of all the forms of life that populate our land, This common ancestor has a name: L.U.C.A. (Last Universal Common Ancetor).
Perfect antidote to all our identity folds, L.U.C.A. joyfully rushes into intimate stories, Migration routes and genetic inheritances, To put another look at our origins. Worn by two sparkling actors, This scenic object full of energy oscillates between documentary theater, Caustic conference and resistance space, In search of what connects us as human beings. Hailed by criticism and awarded the 2019 Maeterlinck prize for the best staging, We invite you to (re) discover this impactful show, who draws from our deep roots, To invent the contours of a new common story.
