We make stuff that goes in dark rooms filled with you, our audience. Sometimes that stuff is funny, sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's scripted, sometimes it's devised - there's no one thing we do. No matter, it will always be full of spirit, joie de vivre and adventure.

*L'espoir, page 118, VIII. One of those nouns with which fol is still used, instead of fou, page 307, XX. Un fol espoir, a foolish hope.
