Encounter about
CHILDHOOD AT WORK
FROM ASPIRATION TO CREATION
What is it that, during childhood, creates aspiration and leads to creation? How do what Marcel Proust called “the high and thin enclaves of the past” emerge to elevate and enlighten us? How do the milk and ink of our childhood combine to hint at a vocation? Those are the questions that Robin Renucci wants to ask, with the help of the precise observations of Proust, Gary, Valéry, or Rimbaud. By bringing diverse works together in a dialogue with Nicolas Stavy's piano, he encourages his audience to wander down memory lane to explore childhood as the beginning of a work in progress.
