COLOMBIERS
“L’homme qui plantait des arbres” by Jean Giono, followed by “Elisée Reclus ou l’Homme et la Terre”
The first part, accompanied by original guitar melodies, opens with Jean Giono?s extraordinary short story about the meeting between a narrator-trekker and Elzéard Bouffier, the shepherd who planted trees for decades on his land in Haute-Provence? An act of absolute love that will enable the region to once again feed its inhabitants and welcome newcomers!
The second part opens with a theatrical lecture, shedding light on the little-known but undeniable link between Jean Giono?s fabulous text and Elisée Reclus, a geographer of genius, anarchist poet, explorer and storyteller of the world, who never ceased to disseminate proven and emancipating knowledge, a militant precursor of ecology, already defining environmental issues and sustainable development in the mid-19th century!
“L’homme qui plantait des arbres” (The Man Who Planted Trees) by Jean Giono with Mathilde Mosnier and Pierre Rousselle; “Elisée Reclus ou l?Homme et la Terre” (Elisée Reclus or Man and Earth) by Constant Kaïmakis with Jean Tuffou and Mathilde Mosnier
