Les mots troubles #1 / Humour and second degree
"Les Mots troubles" is a program of meetings around the text in its oral dimension, organized by the artist Julie Béna.
These 5 chapters will be an opportunity to explore different aspects of the text in its contemporary form.
For this first meeting, the discussion will be built with three guests, artists and writers, Jeanne Moynot, Ndayé Kouagou, and Laetitia Paviani, around the notions of humor and second degree. Each of them uses it in their work but with very different biases and proposals. How is this relationship to humor constructed, what does it allow to say, what does it allow to do? How does the second degree propose the distancing of oneself as well as a step towards the others? Is changing the way we think about seriousness a way to chase away fear?
The meeting unfolds around readings, discussions and lemonades.
