Les Mains Sales de Jean-Paul Sartre par Philippe Sireuil
au Théâtre de la place des Martyrs
Bruxelles
" Les Mains Sales" de Sartre : étonnant, beau, drôle, décapant, actuel. P. Sireuil magicien.
Mort, le théâtre politique ? Ennuyeux, le théâtre engagé, dopé à la philosophie existentialiste ? Philippe Sireuil et une remarquable troupe de comédiens suisses et belges font des "Mains Sales" un coup de poing violent… et drôle, dans une actualité politique sinistre.Dans mon souvenir (vraiment très ancien, Sartre n’est plus à la mode depuis belle lurette), ce règlement de comptes entre deux communistes, le pragmatique et l’idéaliste, dans un contexte de guerre froide, était "daté". Mais la mise en scène de Philippe Sireuil nous rafraîchit la mémoire et fait découvrir les facettes insoupçonnées de ce beau texte, aux registres multiples.
Au centre, le meurtre d’un dirigeant communiste “réaliste”, Hoederer, par un jeune idéaliste, Hugo…manipulé par un dur du parti. Hoederer, à la fois stalinien et pragmatique, un “social- traître”, comme on disait, est prêt à composer, provisoirement, avec de vieux fascistes, pour mieux installer ensuite, le communisme.. La femme d’Hugo, Jessica, séduite par la maturité de Hoederer fait basculer le "destin". Attentat politique ou passionnel ?
Le pays “imaginaire” de l’action fleure bon son Europe centrale, souvent alliée objective du fascisme, pendant la guerre 40/45, avant de basculer dans le communisme : c’est “la” racine de la guerre froide.(1945/1991)
Politique, morale : message brouillé.
Alors, seulement historique, anecdotique, dépassée, cette histoire de “collaboration avec l’ennemi” et de règlement de comptes politique ? En Europe le démembrement récent de la Yougoslavie et l’actuelle guerre d’Ukraine mais aussi le retour d’influence et parfois l’arrivée au pouvoir d’une extrême droite nationaliste, sans compter le cynisme financier généralisé, redonnent intérêt et vigueur à ce débat entre “morale” et “politique”.
C’est toute l’habilité de la mise en scène de Sireuil : sans faire éclater le cadre initial, il lui donne une intensité et une sensibilité actuelles, “sans forcer”.
Un thriller politique, une comédie, un mélo tendre, une esthétique intelligente.
La scénographie de Didier Payen d’une beauté efficace permet au grand "luministe" Sireuil de glisser d’un climat à l’autre, dramatisant l’action comme un roman policier, l’éclairant ensuite d’une douceur érotique, ménageant des surprises par le déguisement et le parler hilarants des gardes du corps, dont Thierry Hellin, irrésistible, caricature de ces bourreaux masqués qui envahissent nos télés…réalités. Caricature aussi la “négociation” entre fascistes et communistes, dominée par un Itzik Elbaz “construit”, comme les autres, par une géniale artiste costumière, Anna Van Brée. Enfin les changements de décor s’accompagnent de citations cinématographiques, de Truffaut au western, autant de clins d’œil très “justes” pour éclairer le texte de Sartre. Tous ces contrastes ménagent des surprises bienvenues et donnent à la réflexion politique de base un phrasé et un rythme étonnants.
Une interprétation transcendante.
Mais surtout la distribution transcende la pièce en donnant à la discussion politique et morale une belle intériorité. Ils ont des idées mais ce ne sont pas des abstractions, comme on le reproche souvent à Sartre. Le duo Hoederer/Hugo trouve en deux comédiens suisses, Joan Mompart-Hugo et Roland Vouilloz-Hoederer, une incarnation vibrante et une curieuse fascination réciproque. Le tourmenté angoissé, Hugo, n’est pas si éloigné du “réaliste” Hoederer et le final achèvera de les réconcilier. Enfin le rôle de Jessica permet à la jeune Berdine Nusselder de donner toute la mesure de son talent. D’origine hollandaise, formée à l’Insas, elle parle le français avec l’accent charmeur de Jane Birkin avec la blondeur pulpeuse craquante de Marylin Elle passe en douceur de son statut de femme enfant capricieuse à celui de femme libre et responsable. Une grande performance.
Philippe Sireuil redonne donc à Sartre force, beauté et humour. Incontournable.

We're
Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway
Hah. Even I don't know what's going on with my 365 nowadays. So busy, so tired, that flickr's taking a backseat for awhile till some more stuff has passed over. I'll still take photos and fill in all the damn gaps etc when I get back. Indeterminable. I'm sorry; I have nothing to apologise for but I'm sorry anyway.
My existential dread flared up again and my mood sank. Doing this quick photo edit helped a bit. On the bright side, my hands have been drawing with more precision.
Meet the Diablo GT, done by Kyosho in 1/43rd scale. A lovely effort and as usual, it can be found still for a reasonable price.
It also has an opening engine cover!
I'm beginning to see that I gravitate toward this angle on a lot of my models.
The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.
Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

We still have a long way to go to reach equality in this country of ours. Take what you may from this shot. See it as light and dark blending together, see it as light and dark struggling for dominance, see it for how it makes you feel.
When I spotted this scene, the first thing that popped into my head was the juxtaposition of light and shadow defining our everday existence. Of how we, as a society, believe that we have attained equality, and how far we truly are from it. Race, religion, social status, wealth. I am no activist, far from it, actually. Something just sparked an inner flame on this Sunday morning, and I had to get this on 'film'

Le Soleil
Le long du vieux faubourg, où pendent aux masures
Les persiennes, abri des sécrètes luxures,
Quand le soleil cruel frappe à traits redoublés
Sur la ville et les champs, sur les toits et les blés,
Je vais m'exercer seul à ma fantasque escrime,
Flairant dans tous les coins les hasards de la rime,
Trébuchant sur les mots comme sur les pavés
Heurtant parfois des vers depuis longtemps rêvés.
Ce père nourricier, ennemi des chloroses,
Eveille dans les champs les vers comme les roses;
II fait s'évaporer les soucis vers le ciel,
Et remplit les cerveaux et les ruches de miel.
C'est lui qui rajeunit les porteurs de béquilles
Et les rend gais et doux comme des jeunes filles,
Et commande aux moissons de croître et de mûrir
Dans le coeur immortel qui toujours veut fleurir!
Quand, ainsi qu'un poète, il descend dans les villes,
II ennoblit le sort des choses les plus viles,
Et s'introduit en roi, sans bruit et sans valets,
Dans tous les hôpitaux et dans tous les palais.
— Charles Baudelaire
The Sun
Along the old street on whose cottages are hung
The slatted shutters which hide secret lecheries,
When the cruel sun strikes with increased blows
The city, the country, the roofs, and the wheat fields,
I go alone to try my fanciful fencing,
Scenting in every corner the chance of a rhyme,
Stumbling over words as over paving stones,
Colliding at times with lines dreamed of long ago.
This foster-father, enemy of chlorosis,
Makes verses bloom in the fields like roses;
He makes cares evaporate toward heaven,
And fills with honey hives and brains alike.
He rejuvenates those who go on crutches
And gives them the sweetness and gaiety of girls,
And commands crops to flourish and ripen
In those immortal hearts which ever wish to bloom!
When, like a poet, he goes down into cities,
He ennobles the fate of the lowliest things
And enters like a king, without servants or noise,
All the hospitals and all the castles.

Had a slight existential crisis and unfortunately backed away from Tiona for a while. But a couple of days to myself and an attempt at being girly again has got my mojo back
question: if a fluffy white dog plays in fluffy white snow, can it get dirty?
answer: yes, every single time.
please see daisy large, on white (naturally) :
I don't know. Don't ask me.
We're Here, but why?
Tripod-mounted; remote shutter & strobe; some Photoshop involved.
Distractions galore at Pelcomb Portraits.
In this animation project I have attempted to encapsulate a moment of existential crisis through distortion of the environment and the body language of the character.
SPOTLIGHT SESSION
The Mental Well-Being of the Next Generation: How We Can Support Young People’s Mental Health Amid Multiple Existential Threats
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Mercury Ballroom
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of “climate anxiety,” new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges – from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support – in finding the tools and treatment they need.
This session will explore:
•How can organizations take action to directly support the mental health of young people in their communities and around the world?
•How can we develop and implement effective models for delivering mental health care in schools, clinics, and community settings?
•How can we leverage technology – which has exacerbated much of the mental health crisis among today’s youth – to reduce stigma and give youth easier access to support and treatment?
Speakers:
•Dr. Tia Dole, Executive Director, The Steve Fund
•Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General
•Heather White, Author & Founder, OneGreenThing.org
•Tristan Harris, Co-Founder & President, Center for Humane Technolog
•Mahmoud Abdelwahab Khedr, Founder & CEO, FloraMind
