Down on the farm
all is not what it seems. This simple tale of
little piglets groomed by their elders to be obedient
citizens immediately strikes a political chord
with obvious Orwellian overtones of cynical authoritarianism as the pigs are raised to worship man,
the great creator of their happy if confined
universe. Their carefree existence comes to an abrupt end when they
discover that they are being prepared for slaughter by
their corrupted elders. In an often humorous
but grotesque cartoon style, Teatr Biuro Podrozy's giant
stilt walkers tower over the small and vulnerable in this
tragi-comic tale of rebels with a noble cause whose dreams of freedom are inevitably
crushed.

text from the performance:
In the beginning there was man.
Man separated light from darkness and showed it was
good.
Then man separated water from the earth.
He gave permission to drink the water
and to live on the earth and he showed it was good.Afterwards
man built a city with houses which offered protection from the rain and sun and
he acknowledged it was clever.Then
man created a pig and he made it live in the city that he had built and he was
contented,And
man ordered the pig to multiply so that its offspring would inhabit the city
and he liked it.
Finally
man looked at what he had created and smiled. He decided to rest and he smoked
his pipe.
