L'Intraitable Beauté du monde

An unrivalled storyteller, Étienne Minoungou brings together the thoughts of Édouard Glissant and Sony Labou Tansi in a setup halfway between a lecture and stand-up comedy. Two voices meet: that of the Caribbean writer, shaped by the Tout-Monde and creolisation, and that of the Congolese poet and essayist, rooted in a language of awakening. How can imagination be transformed to bring about new humanities? From the decolonisation of the world and minds to the urgency of living together, Minoungou channels both anger and utopia, accompanied by Danish saxophonist Katrine Suwalski and Burkinabé multi-instrumentalist Simon Winsé. L’Intraitable Beauté du monde carves out a path for a theatre of conversation, sensitive, rhythmic, and corporeal. 

이야기꾼 에티엔 미눈구는 안틸레스의 에두아르 글리상과 콩고의 소니 라부 탄시라는 카리브해와 콩고를 대표하는 두 사상가의 목소리를 엮어, 그들의 사상을 대화로 풀어내며 새로운 형태의 유토피아를 모색한다.
