BIG BANG begins with a gigantic explosion. The aftermath: six people who run ashore a small island and rewrite the history of the world in pleasurable episodes. Through elegant tableaux, meaningful gestures and with few words, the protagonists create anatomical studies of a human microcosm, transplanted into an unexpected landscape. The director, Quesne stages the theory of evolution in short, musical scenes, as absurd stories of countless possibilities.
