Description

A performance lecture to (re)discover lightness in hostile territory, with poetry and philosophy.<div> Why do we think about other things? How do we choose our direction when we don't have a specific destination? In this joyfully erudite performance-lecture, Victor Pouchet shares his tips for escaping unhappiness and finding lightness where we least expect it. In 1 hour and 4 minutes, through images, videos, unexpected stories, and digressions, the poet and novelist will answer the questions, big and small, that we all ask ourselves.</div><div><br></div><div> How can one be happy when everything is going wrong? What is the fair price of a Renault 21? What sparks novels? What was the first museum in the history of the world? Can one find poetry in motorway service areas, and where are the dragons? Put together in a grand narrative and given a good shake, the answers to these questions outline the contours of this theory of the great diversion, which resembles a philosophical manual for survival in hostile territory.</div><div><br></div><div> On stage, a thought that branches off, digresses, transforms futility into a terrain of adventure and shows us that thinking about something else is perhaps the most serious way to stand upright.</div>
