Manipulation poétique
Brief digressions on the art of doubt, the power of words, and the representation of reality
55 min – Suitable for ages 12 and up
Possessing a hyper-memory since his accident on April 14, 1989, Raoul Lambert has invented the concept of "flash-voyance." But what exactly is flash-voyance...?
Is Raoul Lambert posing as a mentalist by using his hyper-memory, or is the mentalist posing as a man with a hyper-memory by using his "Raoul Lambert"... or is it the other way around!?
There are rare instances where we consciously agree to be manipulated. Through the art of magic, this duo of "lecture-sorcerers" invites you to step off the beaten path—to let yourself be amazed so that you might better understand our world and explore the nature of our own credulity.
Created and performed by Kevin Laval and Mathieu Pasero, with the collaborative guidance of Johann Candoré
