Zoo ou l'Assassin philanthrope

Vercors

A hilarious and thought-provoking play adaptation of a novel that explores the question of what makes a human. Witness the uproarious trial of Douglas Templemore, an assassin philanthropist whose case brings together experts in anthropology, zoology, paleontology, and medicine to debate this fundamental question. Through Zoo, Vercors offers a philosophical and satirical commentary on colonialism and the nature of humanity, all delivered in a witty and engaging narrative that is a joy to read. A must-read for fans of Voltaire and anyone interested in the sciences of humanity.
