Le dictionnaire amoureux de l’inutile - François et Valentin Morel

This singular and prolific artist is also a fabulous novelist. With Le dictionnaire amoureux de l'inutile, written with his son Valentin, François Morel invites us to join them on stage for a musical reading in two voices. It's a joyful invitation to delve into memories that are as futile as they are profound: wondering about President Giscard d'Estaing's hairstyle, or extolling the virtues of sleeping in... Is man more useful than the lobster? Are potatoes more indispensable than bindweed? The notices and definitions in their dictionaries are a joy to browse through, and extol the virtues of counterpoising in ministerial speeches, or the height of domestic comfort, explaining how to feel better just by listening to the marine weather forecast from the warmth of your comforter... It's a great pleasure to welcome back poet-comedian François Morel. When the useless becomes indispensable!
