Man Inc. (English version) [1970]
Original
Résumé In this multi-media production, Pierre, a young, lower-echelon executive and suburbanite, feels
trapped in his roles as father, family-provider, husband, lover, and, efficient, obedient instrument of someone else's power. How can he regain the freedom that would allow him to live intensely and
leave his mark on history? When taking refuge in an imaginary world proves unsatisfactory, Pierre
experiments with involvement in a noble cause, the search for his roots, and finally returns home
to be with his wife at the birth of their second child. Extrait « HIM: No, not like before - now, we're free! / HER: Free to do what? / HIM: We're not really what you might called prepared. Everything I was taught at school is useless. / HER: Maybe we'd better stick to what we have learned… / HIM: But honey, then our descendants' ll grow up the way we grew up : surrounded on all sides by monuments and clichés. We need a whole new formula, a new structure. First of all, what about God? Is He alive or dead? You might have thought, when the world was ending, He'd show his hand one way or the other. » |
