Le rêve de Grégoire
Description
Grégoire's dream begins with an arrest. In his cell, a man is waiting to be shot. He has no idea what he could have done to deserve such a fate, but whether he knows it or not doesn't change the situation. He will die. Or maybe not.
But why? Grégoire's dream is a fable. A fable about our world. A raging fable, perhaps a very desperate one. But certainly not defeatist.
A fable that says: "There is something in me that power, authority, however absurd and unbridled, can never destroy."
