Les surfeurs de la monnaie

Setting course for money, this invention that makes the world go round... and sometimes makes people lose their minds! Why did it appear? How has it survived through the centuries? And why does it continue to spark so much lust, crisis, and revolution?

From ancient Rome to the hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic, passing through Ming China and the rise of the Arab-Muslim world, Les Surfeurs de la monnaie take the audience on a theatrical, funny, and informative journey. A twist-filled exploration to discover that behind coins, banknotes, and numbers lies one of humanity's most fascinating inventions.
