How can the unsettling uncertainty of misunderstanding be made spectacular?

Despite his awkwardness, Philippe is not afraid to say what he thinks. The problem is that he is not entirely sure he understands what he is saying, because he is far from convinced that his thoughts originate from himself.

Having come to this realization, and although he is not even certain that it is truly he who is speaking, Philippe has no intention of stopping.

Through a language seemingly devoid of logic, and within an elusive reality where his own perceptions lead him to question the truth of what is real, he attempts to answer the following question:

What are the mechanisms that destabilise understanding? Or, more precisely, how does one come not to understand?

With this new project, Le Comité des fêtes suspends our familiar relationship to the world in order to reveal it more clearly. We are invited to observe the ordinary, solitude, the smallest gesture, and every misstep, continually stumbling over the banal until, amidst the disorder, we are able to embrace the full ambiguity of existence.
