Stuck in their routine, the two cashiers at the local grocery store daydream of a better life. A life of endless possibilities where carrots dance, soy sauce pines for love, and the sun tastes like pineapple! A life of freedom and synchronized swimming! Prisoners of a routine they know inside out, these women present their dreams, aspirations, need for recognition, and thirst for freedom through an epic in which everyday objects become their escape from boredom.

“The freshness of the concept, the precision of the message, and the finesse of the puppetry make Caisse 606 a truly promising work. (...) The blend of a text reminiscent of Tremblay’s world with the wild manipulations of these two cashiers left a lasting impression on the second edition of the OUF! Festival. ”
Jocelyn SiouiDirecteur général et artistique du festival OUF! // Mars 2015
“With a completely absurd tone that bordered on musical theatre, they had the crowd — myself included — bursting into laughter time and time again.”
