In this last episode, we will dream the world of tomorrow, the City descended from the sky, which will land on our destroyed world.
We will console each other a little after the end of days.
We were told that the Apocalypse would have a happy endingand those promises will be kept, whatever the cost.
The apocalyptic genre has been in existence for more than 2000 years, with the production of texts and theories intensifying in times of “crisis”. Louis Bonard sees the crisis not as a series of catastrophes to be endured, but as an opportunity to manifest our hopes, to affirm what we value. He sees apocalyptic narratives as an injunction to step back, to clear the slate of our knowledge, to imagine the end of the world in order to create a space conducive to the exercise of thinking about the future. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, and its resolutely sci-fi quality, this first creation unfolds in 4 episodes that propose to explore our relationship to the world and its demise, and to our individual and collective demise, but above all to avoid fatalism at all costs. Episode 2 will be presented in June 2022 at the Arsenic.
