The Basement Notebooks
To bookDescription
"I even think that the best definition of man is the following: a bipedal and ungrateful creature." In Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. In a relatively undefined rectangular scenographic arrangement (which represents at once the hero's mental space, a basement, a room...), the performance gives voice to the hero of Notes from Underground who has chosen to take himself as the subject of observation, to question his thoughts by establishing a dialogue with imaginary gentlemen.<br><br> Faced with the certainties of his time, the hero opposes his desire, which he calls his "whim," and which, according to him, is so constitutive of man that he would rather go mad than renounce his fundamental freedom.
