Fabrice Murgia
THÉÂTRE
JEUDI 22 MARS 2018
VENDREDI 23 MARS 2018
20H
Héritier d’un théâtre populaire, poétique et édifiant, Fabrice Murgia met en parallèle deux grandes utopies contemporaines. D’une part les promesses et luttes qui accompagnent les développements fulgurants
du net et de l’informatique, d’autre part les rêves d’émancipation du continent africain. Ces utopies sombreront-elles dans les gigantesques poubelles de l’obsolescence où s’éreintent les jeunes générations du continent noir ?
Un grand conte contemporain raconté au plateau par quatre comédiens, deux Sénégalais et deux Belges. Il y sera question de la fracture numérique Nord-Sud, d’escrocs en ligne, du monde hyperconnecté, de Aaron Swartz, icône du libre accès à l’information qui a incarné l’espoir d’une ouverture d’Internet tombé aujourd’hui entre les mains de multinationales. Black Clouds prendra des accents de comédie quand il s’agira de nous raconter les supercheries orchestrées par les pirates du web ivoiriens, les « brouteurs » dont la spécialité est d’entretenir des relations amoureuses à distance. On s’enfoncera dans la face la plus sombre du Web, le Darknet, où la notion même de frontière n’a plus de sens et où on peut acheter un faux passeport ou un organe. Et comme toujours chez Fabrice Murgia, on se souvient de Notre peur de n’être, la mise en scène est construite autour de la vidéo qui joue de la superposition de plans, et transforme le plateau en un espace multi dimensionnel pour nous entraîner vers un ailleurs à la fois poétique, onirique et bien réel.

You two, more or less, figured out the solution to the previous post. The mystery was: How could there be shadows on an east facing wall at sunset?
Solution: Sometimes, after an extremely dark cloudy day, the sun finds a small space to shine through just before it sets. At a certain time of year this almost-horizontal-light hits the building across the street and it bounces back into my yard and living room. The resultingl brightness is confusing because only early morning light normally hits these areas.
The wild, brighter-than-bright effect amazes me because there only a few small windows in the reflecting wall. As well, but not obvious in this post, the building is quite a distance away. There are four lanes of traffic AND a fairly wide grassy boulevard between here and there.
I did not take this photo, this is a pic taken from my Sister's yard in May in Gray Tennessee. They arent very common there, so this is proof that they can happen anywhere at any time.
This is Cuenca, whose historic centre has the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Its buildings blend in perfectly with stunning natural landscapes. This fusion of art and nature give this city in the Castile-La Mancha region, in inland Spain, a special atmosphere.
Cuenca is 170 kilometres from Madrid, in the Castile-La Mancha region. The first thing you will notice is the cultural heritage of a city that maintains intact its appearance of a medieval fortress, with its palaces, stately houses, towers, churches, convents, streets, squares and walkways. Its historic centre is packed with civil and religious buildings of different artistic styles, the majority constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries.
Before strolling through the centre of Cuenca, we recommend that you take a look from a distance: seeing how the city "hangs" from the rock is spectacular. From the San Pablo Convent, now home to a Parador Hotel, you will be able to enjoy this view, with the San Pablo Bridge suspended over the Huécar Canyon, along with the façades of the Hanging Houses, the city's most emblematic structures, defying the gorge below. These buildings are excellent examples of traditional architecture. They are currently home to the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art, not to be missed, given that it has one of Europe's best collections in the genre.
The following await you in its streets: the Cathedral (12th-13th centuries), the first example of Gothic architecture in Spain. Its façade is the only one in the country in Anglo-Norman style; the area surrounding Plaza Mayor Square, with emblematic buildings such as the Town Hall; networks of narrow streets, hills, staircases, underground passes and stone walls that lead to places such as Nuestra Señora de las Angustias Shrine and San Miguel Church, from where you can enjoy stunning views of the area
