Philippe Quesne, one of France\u2019s most important theatre makers, brings together a small, slightly eccentric community in his new work, which questions the role of art in everyday life with humour and melancholy. A subtle play about loneliness, community and the magic of everyday life. \u201cLe Paradoxe de John\u201d ties in with one of Philippe Quesne\u2019s first plays, which captivated audiences in an unmistakable way: in 2007, in \u201cL\u2019Effet de Serge,\u201d the director portrayed a lonely man who organises small shows for his friends on Sundays, inviting them into his unique and fragile fantasy world. In Quesne\u2019s new work, the focus is now on a small group of friends who set up an art gallery together. A humorous and poetic universe emerges on stage, created from animated objects, a pianola and foam sculptures. The play once again explores the place of art in everyday life, while musical and visual inventions meet the poetically idiosyncratic texts of Laura Vazquez. Between effective effects and absurd situations, a theatre of intimacy emerges, bringing people and objects together in a shared, atmospheric composition and emphasising the necessity of the artistic act, however small it may be. <\/p>\n
