Encyclopédie de la parole

Alone-on-stage a fervent collector of recordings and practitioner of the spoken word who, rather than give himself up to formalist demonstrations, observes in games and zigzags that the politics of the spoken word is the Other. Making his way through an abundant collection of recorded spoken words, sometimes broadcast, sometimes faxed, he evokes and comments on the phenomena that make up its structures, which he dissects with unique hypotheses and analyses. In this creation in the Centre Pompidou, a play with figurations, disfigurations, reconfigurations, Frédéric Danos, the encyclopedist takes us outside our habits and routines as users of the spoken word. He questions the taste for archives, the passion that drives the explorer of traces, and the melancholic and pleasurable basis that haunts the collector's instinct, the love affair with memory.
