L’Art de ne pas dire

Clément Viktorovitch reveals the secrets of political rhetoric on stage.

Following on from his book Le Pouvoir Rhétorique (Rhetorical Power), Clément Viktorovitch, PhD in political science and popularizer on France Info, Clique and Quotidien, appears for the first time on stage in a gritty drama. He plays the communications advisor to the President of the Republic, who, after being brutally ousted, seeks revenge. His weapon? A conference, in which he decides to reveal all the secrets they used to conquer power...

With his masterly eloquence, Clément Viktorovitch does more than transmit decoding tools: he questions the very place of discourse in our political life. When words are emptied of their content, when communication is reduced to the art of not saying, how can we still form an opinion? Is it even possible to debate? And what if what we've lost along the way is quite simply... the very meaning of democracy?

A show at the crossroads of intellect and humor, not to be missed. An ode to the subtlety of language!
