Créé en 1986 par Éric Cénat, Le Théâtre de l'Imprévu affirme sa démarche artistique en lui donnant une ligne autour des mots, ceux qui donnent du sens et nous inscrivent dans le temps et l'espace. Grâce à eux, nous explorons notre passé, appréhendons notre présent et réfléchissons à notre avenir au travers de nos créations et actions culturelles.
Spring Selection of Poets
Creation: 2004
Design and interpretation: Eric Cenat and Patrice Delbourg
“More than seven hundred quivering and fraternal chronicles, delivered daily by L'Equipe, a mischievous and coruscant flow of sports anthology pages. From joke to cock-a-donkey, from false dish to steep fariboles, Blondin gives its letters of nobility to sports commentary. Thanks to him, intellectuals can read the Team in peace, without hiding or wrapping it up in the Diplomatic World...
Subjected to Proust's famous questionnaire, to the question, what is your favorite pastime, Antoine Blondin invariably answered: “follow the Tour de France”. On his record, 28 tours of France. From 1954 to 1982.
This series of large loops represents approximately 100,000 kilometers, or two and a half times around the earth, looped at 37 kilometers per hour. In the space age, this masochistic circumnavigation may seem trivial, even absurd. It is the root of a rare reading happiness.
Antoine Blondin faithfully follows the Grande Boucle until the day he realizes that two days in a row, he sent the same text… Which was published elsewhere. There is a moment when you have to know how to unhook, even for the follower. Blondin is a passing challenge.
Under the lanterns of a twilight ball, Blondin invites, in turn, our childhood spirit and our disillusions to a slow waltz, morning song parachuted into the falling evening, the sky streaked like a Neapolitan slice, fragile silhouette, unfinished smile, wedged in the bottom of a car from the caravan, brand Peugeot, red color, registration number 101, of which he immutably occupied the rear left seat next to the journalist friend, Pierre Chany. You see that the legend keeps all its teeth like Poulidor's derailleur in the ascent of the Puy de Dôme..."
