Éloge du Théâtre avec Alain Badiou

Listen to the debate (full version)
with Alain Badiou philosopher
Ever since Plato, we have known that the relationship between philosophy and theatre is not simple.

How can theatre be thought of philosophically based on this initial paradox? Four years after his In Praise of Love, a philosopher-playwright who wanted to be an actor, comes back to the art and central question of performance.
