Performer(s)

In a café (in Paris), two characters have a dialogue about what is fundamental in artistic creation. One of them represents rationality, objectivity, the plan; the other represents pure intuition, the viscerality of the moment of creation.

In their discussion, they present arguments, doubts and suggestions. Will they reach a consensus? Who will prevail? The show will take place on a café set, where, in addition to the cast, members of the public (8 to 10 people) will be seated; these involuntary participants will watch the action in loco and may be called upon for some interaction.
