100 Dessus Dessous
December 10 - 21th, 2007 - 8th edition at La Villette

WE [CAN] CHANGE THE WORLD

Now in its’ 8th edition, 100 Dessus Dessous is aimed at all those who believe:
– that we can still have inventive, pointless and emancipating collective adventures, without being retrograde hippies,
– that appearing on a TV set at peak hour to give one’s opinion cannot be taken as a sure sign of success,
– that we can talk about theatre without quoting authors every second sentence,
– that ending your sentences with the word "motherfucker" doesn’t make you a contemporary poet,
– that the world is not just a Western world and that there are lots of people in other places too,
– that not everything can be explained or measured, which leaves a lot of play room for all types of interpretations, even the most absurd,
– that there are still some healthy utopias remaining, and not just futile angers.

In brief, an event dedicated to all of you who just want to take a little break, and let yourselves go to all sorts of things surprising, excessive, insignificant and a bit derisory. A snapshot of the current state of the world. Frédéric Mazelly
