"You are undoubtedly more afraid, you who pronounce this judgment, than I who receive it."
Like a phoenix rising again, Giordano Bruno retraces his journey and the ideas that led to his condemnation at the stake by the Inquisition. Through his encounters, his vision of an unfathomable, infinite universe emerges, along with his holistic ideal of a world in constant flux and his fight for freedom of thought. Reviews A dimension bordering on grace. The grace of theater and of the mystery of life. Emmanuelle Bouchez — Télérama TTT Giordano rises up against obscurantism, fatalism, and fanaticism, opening minds. Agnès Santi — La Terrasse Directed by David Gauchard, Cédric Dorier and Denis Lavalou rise magnificently to the challenge… A beautiful moment of theatrical intensity Boris Senff — 24h, Lausanne Cédric Dorier excels at portraying this man brimming with youthful vitality, this defrocked monk who devours life, through the intensity of his presence and his skillful acting, right down to his fingertips. Denis Lavalou (who wrote the text) brings depth and melancholy to this man who repeatedly clashes head-on with every institution. Isabelle Carceles — Le Courrier Giordano, passionately […] discovering a production as intelligent, moving, and masterful as this one. Michelle Chanonat — Revue de théâtre JEU A masterful, transcendent, must-see intimate production. Denis Lavalou and Cédric Dorier deliver feverish performances. Patrick Ferla — theater critic A rare plunge into the universe of a unique mind. Michel Vaïs — theater critic A rare, fabulous evening. A great moment both outside time and at the heart of our times.
