A l'encontre de la représentation scénique où les personnages sont présents et visibles, la réalisation de cette pièce sous une forme uniquement sonore lui apporte une dimension nouvelle, qui correspond mieux au sens même des personnages décrits par l'auteur comme "morts" ou "absents". La notion d'absence ne pouvait pas être mieux représentée que par la voix des acteurs. Jean-Paul Sartre aimait ce raisonnement.

"J'ai commencé ma vie comme je la finirai sans doute : au milieu des livres. Dans le bureau de mon grand-père, il y en avait partout ; défense était de les faire épousseter sauf une fois l'an, avant la rentrée d'octobre. Je ne savais pas encore lire que, déjà, je les révérais, ces pierres levées : droites ou penchées, serrées comme des briques sur les rayons de la bibliothèque ou noblement espacées en allées de menhirs, je sentais que la prospérité de notre famille en dépendait..."

A few years ago, I started an experiment to see if I could create a business that I could manage solely using my Phone. After researching social networks, marketplaces, products, and suppliers, I decided to start selling handbags on Poshmark. I started with zero sales, zero followers, and zero experience in the fashion business.

I recently toured Poshmark HQ, met with CEO Manish Chandra, and I have been a guest speaker at Poshmark Live in San Francisco. I ...

Eight-year-old Molly and her 10-year-old brother, Ralph, are inseparable, in league with each other against the stodgy and stupid routines of school and daily life; against their prim mother and prissy older sisters; against the world of authority and perhaps the world itself. One summer, they are sent from the genteel Los Angeles suburb that is their home to back-country Colorado, where their uncle Claude has a ranch. There the children encounter an enchanting new world - savage, direct, beautiful, untamed - to which, over the next few years, they will return regularly.

Cette biographie du plus populaire des rois de France, qui met à profit les avancées les plus récentes de la recherche, fait une large part à la marche au pouvoir (une bonne trentaine d’années...) et s’attache à connaître l’homme avec certes des faiblesses (les femmes, le jeu...) mais aussi et surtout avec des dons et des atouts éclatants (charisme personnel, culture humaniste, habileté voire ruse politique).

" La Collaboration demeure “le plus délicat des problèmes posés par la défaite et la division de la France” (Stanley Hoffmann). Il s’agit d’un concept flou, que l’on a chargé d’une mission impossible, consistant à ranger sous une étiquette commune des Français d’origines, de motivations et de conduites très différentes, souvent contradictoires. Elle n’a jamais inspiré une politique clairement déterminée, fixée une fois pour toutes, car elle s’adaptait en permanence aux circonstances.
