What does the path from a cocoa bean to a chocolate bar tell us? This theatrical thriller takes us to the four corners of the planet to reveal the workings of a globalized system. How can a simple square of chocolate dismantle the postcard image of Switzerland?

Political and little-known, this story is approached with regard to our History made of racism, violence and oppression. A cheeky and edifying show about a world economy as cruel yesterday as it is today.

"No one sees the trees. We see fruit, we see nuts, we see wood, we see shadow. We see ornaments or the pretty colors of fall. Dark and menacing places that we have to clear the ground. We see branches that risk bursting our roof. We see a goose that lays golden eggs. But the trees... the trees are invisible."
The Overstory, Richard Powers
