The show

An entire generation has dreamed… That the world will change with the statements of 68, with drugs and the new spiritual movements. It has dreamed that the lax will be based on freedom, love an fraternity. And that music will be the queen mother.

Today, that generation has cut its hair and taken off its clogs.
Progress provides them with everything. With a simple “clic”, unrestricted virtual worlds open up to them.

But the present/virtual world is disappointing: driven by finance and trade, resulting in weak social fabric, increasing the number of excluded people -a nightmae worthy of ani-utopian Science Fiction novel. A situation we accept as something we cannot change.

What did you dream about last night ?
