FOLISOPHIE

Gyptis Theatre, November 17, 2010

Po rtée by the wave of philosophy books explained to the uninitiated, such Sophie's World Jostein Gaarder, famous manual that tells a wacky philosophy through the eyes of a girl, by the fashion cafe philo, the success of the event Citéphilo Lille, much was expected of this generation of sympathetic Company 4 liters of 12 nancy. Unfortunately, too much touted, the product does not meet expectation.

A gorilla sitting and two women ( Odile Massé Mawen Noury ) Greek tunics in black waves. They will start a conversation, ask questions, which, finally, in the apparently absurd logic of evidence, language in the string of platitudes (Community of thought where we find necessarily all), know, do not know, raise real questions: philosophy is to question, first language. But, alas, the text is quickly exhausted, and fell out of scenic overload.

When casually, the text deals humorously simple questions, finally existential presence / absence, be there / not being, equivalent to modest but profound To Be or Not To Be , it is in the expression a philosophy that actually mocks everyday its just sometimes the high level of smokers allegedly "great" and noble philosophy, but it quickly derailed effects easy to drown what might be thought by reflexes scenic easy repetitions, echoes tiresome, for a character, about the other an insufferable clown voice steadfastly toward mimicry, and grimaces seeking out a laugh out of about even humorous. This, more sustained, could be a satirical gesture of pompous Philosophy is more than external posturing. The public school, moreover, laughs a lot, but never to the text, apart from an attractive find that NOTHING, which is nothing but something, not even a word. He laughs at jokes scenic but never verbal jokes.

This is not the philosophy of coffee, or trade, but fair, circus, and we feel that the director and designer Michel Massé , with its proposals, About fled the text and the concepts of Odile Massé a context that clutters many chairs (Ionesco?) that effects of farce that deny the force itself sporadically some fundamental questions, reducing the scene to a sketch, a simple sketch.
