Abstract: Un poulet candide et épris de liberté traverse un monde hyperconnecté au bord de l'implosion. Une joyeuse dystopie, funky et déjantée. Dans un futur proche, un poulet s'évade d'une ferme industrielle après avoir compris son cruel destin et raté une tentative de suicide. Au cours d'un parcours initiatique aussi absurde que burlesque, ce tendre poulet rencontre le sexe, l'amour, l'amitié et découvre la société à travers des personnages un peu extrêmes et hauts en couleurs : un résistant écologique, un transhumaniste décomplexé, un artiste contemporain improbable... Il devient alors le témoin des excès et déviances du monde actuel dans un contexte de crise marqué par des manifestations incessantes, des violences policières, un capitalisme effréné, l'omniprésence du langage publicitaire, la dictature de la technologie et de l'hyperconnectivité. Cet album propose, sous la forme d'un récit décalé et picaresque, une vision critique de la société où l'absurdité est devenue la norme.

They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet – and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard – or purged them altogether.
