Registration of the first theatre program by the Dutch comedy duo (Erik) van Muiswinkel and (Diederik) van Vleuten. Two men visit the Montignac caves, famous for their prehistoric rock paintings. Diederik van Vleuten thinks he has ended up in the Womb of Western Culture, Erik van Muiswinkel thinks his five-year-old son paints better. They don't agree.
Acting
Decades of partnership = telepathic timing.
Writing
Dense wordplay about Lascaux that somehow slaps.

Intimate camerawork preserves live electricity.
Director
Pieter Bouwman
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Montignac-Lascaux was closed to public access in 1963; this 1997 footage captures a rarely permitted performance space.
Van Muiswinkel and Van Vleuten performed together from 1988-2003; this is their only full program preserved on film.
