Duration 55 minutes

Les Yeux Ouverts has the ambition to seize our time. It gives to hear the voice of a generation born between two collapses, the fall of the Wall and the fall of the Towers. From this word of vertigo, it brings out the urgent need for utopia. If literature and philosophy make common cause, it is a question of weaving with the language and the thought of Camille De Toledo, another weave, carried by the music, the images and the staging, at the same time powerful and joyful, so that everything concurs towards the same intention, the same momentum: «on the side of the potentialities, on the side of the greatest hope»…

What to say about today?

That we’re worried? That the world is complex? That we can’t stand complexification, more and more so? That we can’ t bear, more and more, the resignation?

What to say?

Other than that we seek the new paths of revolt, the one that says no to confinement and that says yes, YES to life?
What can we say, except that we are intensely looking for prospects of hope?
Can’t we only want to save ourselves?
How can we talk to the younger generations, to all of us, about our confusion?
How can we transmit a thought that goes beyond disenchantment, that goes beyond uneasiness, discomfort, that dares.
Which dares, yes, to invent a new elsewhere, a tomorrow not suffered, a possible tomorrow?

Les yeux ouverts

is an invitation to a dream, however modest, but imperious (an illusion, why not also). It formulates the desire for utopia, the need for hope, the call for a reappropriation of our destiny.
