La Mesure des choses

Théâtre du Balcon 38, rue Guillaume Puy 84000 Avignon
Conference / Debate / Meeting, Session / Cinema screening
Everything tells its own story. Some tell sad stories, and others tell happy stories, because some of them did indeed get where they wanted to get to...
In the Mediterranean, a place that is both real and fictional.

Where Icarus threw himself to burn his wings.

Where cruise ships, fishermen, migrants fleeing disaster, rescuers and scientists studying the consequences of global warming on the seabed meet.

Where signs are revealed: has our capacity to measure and interpret the world not fallen into a technological excess that loses its meaning for human beings and makes us burn our wings?
What would Euclid and Thales say about rising sea levels?
How would they judge our cynicism?

The essay film is followed by a moment of exchange and debate with the author and director Patric Jean.

In collaboration with the Café des Sciences.
