At a market, a butcher-delicatessen owner-rancher is setting up her stall. But today, the pig’s heads aren’t in their plates—they’ve got a lot on their minds. The roast chicken has taken up the drums, the sausage is acting up, and a beet (who raps and refuses to be grated) wants to knock the steaks out… The butcher is on the verge of hanging up her apron. No pun intended (she hates puns. Especially bad ones). “Butcher’s Counter, a show that packs a punch!” Téléramort. With wit and humor, three pig heads, a sausage, a roast chicken, steaks, but also the ghost of the great-great-grandfather or a masked carrot (distant cousin of the Vostok carrot), among other chatty characters, have decided to have a chat with our butcher, who does the best she can with what she has.
At the market, a butcher and chicken farmer is setting up her stall. But today, the pig heads want to talk to her, and they have a lot to say! The roasted chicken has started making music, and a beetroot wants to fight with the steak cuts. At this rate, she’s going to quit! (This show is entirely in French, with lots of words and puns, so if you don’t speak French, you won’t understand a thing... But maybe you can have fun watching a girl dressed as a butcher waddling around, talking to pig heads, chickens, sausages, and hamburgers...)
