After a career as a set designer, Philippe Quesne founded Vivarium Studio in 2003. Their plays have often showcased ordinary heroes whose artistic ambitions are met with failure.
Gathering their closest collaborators to celebrate their 10th anniversary, Swamp Club tells the story of an artistic venue threatened by an urban development project.
