Un Homme Pressé – Extrait 46

Un Homme Pressé – Extrait 46

reading: why didn't anyone rebel in this game? I thought I did instill some drama in the second act. Havent you witnessed Romain disappearing the scene in some disarming move? Yes, but even there, he didnt react Because he didnt have any choices Choices are up to the one making them. Get me right, we are speaking of real humans or actors already knowing they are in a play? It went this way, because it went this way. Can you explain why we didnt stand for other choices during our long lasting history? Ok Fair enough, still I wrote this part, tell me if its fitting the plotline. Yes, I will read it in time, thanks. Henris head was spinning. Wasnt it forward? The power of fear, Romain dead walking to its fate, it was pretty impressive conditions to any future mental thoughts. Kafka symbolized it under the characteristics of one person in the trial. The whole power of the society centered on one man, with no way to defend himself and even more powerless as the pages went to their end. Justin and the other flat mate started speaking of another subject when Henri offered to pour another glass of red wine this time. And he stayed in this silence, a silence describing him, humanizing his thoughts, setting up the scene of his imagination. The fear he always had when writing was to make it personal. He thought each writer had in its writing time, this unique book that cannot be finished, because too much personal, because still ongoing. When Henri felt something going all wrong, he sat, reflecting on it, in silence. When Henri felt something was getting great, he sat enjoying it, in silence. Well yes Henri, but why don t you stand for your actors and make something good happen? It depends of your definition of good. As for me, I just look in front and with respect to all the crap that happened in the past, I know the exit would even be better, perhaps not now, perhaps not tomorrow. You see everything being balanced? A balance is defined by its property to measure the weight of imbalances, doesnt it? The other flat mate was over listening the discussion when her phone rang, and she left the garden to the house. The discussion continued between Justin and Henri till a point of sleepiness reached both eyes of the actors. The moon wasnt warming the night enough, and its dim light led them to come back inside, each on their way to their flat. 14 Characters of this social glue are imprinting the landscape around Henri read what Justin wrote, and was pretty happy about the results. He didn't change anything, and rather went to write a poem, possibly a song, on his latest thought. He likes to be right He loves to be wrong He can hear the gong And fading away the light His box went closed His spirit dead That was another day Under the name of a play Came a ring around He poured another one Glass were filled Their mouth sealed In one smile To the moon Time to lie Relax soon Enough, Enough, Enough Sleep was the lady juicing out the forces from him. And his eyes went closed on his keyboardfhjskh sdfhioh ejreiwjnfjsdfsdj ikdjskfsdi fsfklqwqño qaqq vskfjosa. 15. Crazy, jealous and paranoiac, He woke up quite refreshed from a night where thoughts were finally laying along him in bed. Torments come from within. He went straight to prepare a cup of coffee and sat in the living room, joining the crowd of the moment, when Justin started to disrupt this morning monotony: Have you ever thought to put this play on scene? I would need to be directing, I would need actors Rely on friends I am sliding from the social glue holding a life together Come on, dont be pessimistic, what are you scared of? Whenever I watched a movie, I grasped the essence with emotions, so putting this play to the scene, gosh its gonna be

to the world we are passing by, thats why I wake up. Then at every dawn, I am achieving to sleep on my 2 ears with a nice smile. Hubert How did you choose us? The Game Officer thats part of my motivation in this game, I am not selecting the contestant, I am just meeting them. Meeting different people every time is very motivating, I like it a lot, learning by differences and diversity. Ok I sound boring now. Ok youve got it. I found it very fun to see the reaction of people in front of the unexpected. You wouldnt believe how that is interesting. Any other question? Hubert No Ive got to say, I just would like to see what is happening at the end and what we are winning. If its a real game, there is something at stake The Game Officer ok, keep spoiling your time trying to find a result, I just would give you an advice, just enjoy the game. Ok, whose turn is it now? Alexia I believe its mine, Ive got the dices in hand. The Game Officer Ok so throw them away! Shes doing a 5. The Game Officer Ok, falling on a nice square for a lady. Queen Square: Its time to play a little bit of chess, queen, start it up The Game Officer Ok Marta, your turn now. Ok 7, lets see where we are going to. Ok Art Square, thats an interesting one. Marta we will see, never did any arts, and don t have a clue when watching one piece, so.... The Game Officer Its where its becoming interesting. Here we are: Youve got to draw your sensation of the feeling of joy on this blank paper. Marta If I am saying I dont know joy, can I leave that piece blank? The Game Officer Yes, you can. I am normally not allowed to give advices, but hey, come on, why taking the easy way. Sure a charming person like you got some colors and shapes to express. What kind of art would you perform? Marta- any kind of arts? The Game Officer Yep, any kind. Marta Ok so Black and white photography. Its giving intensity. I want all the contestants down the center of the board game, inflatable dices down there, there, and there, and a comfy sofa down here. The Game Officer Ok, here we go. Marta and some bubbles down here to symbolize lightness, and a bar down there to set up a nightclub standard, and two big speakers at each side of the scene. The Game Officer Ok, its getting a little bit too much. Be creative, but still realistic! A black and white photography can easily grab the essence on a picture, it would be a shame to overload it with unnecessary objects, dont you think? Marta - Ok, given youre now restraining my creativity, I will do with what you give me. Please take the picture, yep from here. The Game Officer where here? Wouldnt it be better? Marta no, there, youre not bossing around now. Listen to me, left. Yes, here. The objects required are being set up on the scene, Marta is placing the contestants, asking Hubert to look up and express a dubious smile, Emilie and Jean-Pascal to look at each other lovingly, and Marta lying peacefully on the ground looking up at the sky. Click, The picture is shown on the end wall of the scene. The Game Officer Ok very nice, youre doing very well. 13 I like to be right, I love to be wrong Along a gentle breeze, the night introduced itself settling a warming light onto the evening. The two flatmates were outside sipping a glass of white wine, when Henri joined. It was five minutes Henri was sitting there, with no words, only silence, a deep overwhelming silence. Blossoming with the spirits distilled inside each glass, Justin went straight to the spirit of Henris play. Hey Henri, had a look to your writings and gave myself a shot at writing one act. Ah well, I will read it in time, did you find it inspiring? Well yes, I had just one question keeping banging around the walls of my head during the whole

arms, just lift them as you feel. The music is starting on, a big bright yellow sun is taking place down the scene, not light, warm yellow colors. Jean-Pascal is struggling at the beginning and finally find his way forward leaving Marta to drive the dance. Emilie thats quite nice, I like the rhythm, Hubert would you mind joining me? Hubert euh.... Emilie come on, I don t want to spoil the musical background trying to convince you. I am a beginner like you, come here! Hubert goes to Emilie and starts joining Marta and Jean-Pascal. On the side, The Game Officer and on another square, Alexia, are looking to them. The Game Officer comes to Alexia, and they both start picking up the rhythm. After 3 minutes of struggling dance by each of the guy, the music is coming to an end. Hubert, The Game officer and Jean-Pascal are getting quite proud of themselves. And a smile is nicely readable on each of the contestants faces. 11 And the light goes on Justin put back the paper next to him, went to the kitchen to prepare something, something eatable. He cooked, and came back to the living room. Henri appeared less confused, if confusion can leave traces on an appearance. The TV was switched off, and music was now filling the very living room. In this melody, Justin added his voice to the drums. A casual discussion came on what he read, on what Henri wrote. Its only a draft yet, was the only answer he could get Facing the deep silence of a Monday night, Justin ate quickly his meal and went down-town for a movie. Which one? Well, at the time these lines are written, Henri, Justin, the flat mate, or the author cannot recap which one. Didnt we have a deal that you would stay away from this script and just put inspirations on papers? We dont need your thoughts, leave us alone for freaks sake! Ok, come back, but please no more intrusion, we are using past tenses here. Meanwhile, Justin put his shoes and went for a midnight run. As soon as he did hit the road, his mobile went berserk. He answered it. Easy peasy. Hiya, Hello, whats up? I am going for a run, can I call you back later, lets say in one hour? No, I am going to dinner in town, better to catch up tomorrow. Ok, see ya He put back his walkman on, and went walking on this hard road, before starting a long run outside. Oh gosh, thats feeling good He felt like he let everything behind, went wildly into the nature and bam. No worries, escaping reality at the rhythm of a footing. He accelerated, didnt listen to his heart rate, to the pain in his legs, in his lungs, to the distance to be covered, just running. Out of breath, he reduced the speed, and came by walking. He stopped by the 7/11 and brought some delicacies home, well delicacies, sweets. Back home, filled up with the energy from the run, he took his laptop and continued Henris notes. 12 Likely or not 4 Act 4, Shuffle it all. Its all getting organized Hubert - Where are we now and what are we doing? The Game Officer Ok Hubert, its your turn to play, it might answer your question.Interview Square What do you think of this game? Jean-Pascal - Nothing we are going nowhere The Game Officer JP, wasnt your time to answer! Oh please behave! Hubert- Yep so we are going nowhere. We are on interview square, so it means weve got an interviewer and an interviewee... where are they??? The Game Officer very good question, So I am the one that will be interviewed, and obviously you are leading the questions. Hubert Ok sounds interesting. Ok first question, tell us, how did you end up doing that? The Game Officer I didnt end up doing that, believe or not, I choose to do that. I was working in a theme park before, and I am still looking to give smile and entertainment to people. Its kind of giving a nice frame

ones. Justin went to the TV and turned it on. What can I put that wont bother anyone in the room? He thought. Straight Sky Sports blurred its amount of info to the screen. Football, cricket, rugby, it gave one hour of peace of mind. He still had the papers from Henri next to him. He chose to dare a look. 10 Likely or not 3 Act III Angriness start to blur, the dices are starting to get red, Impatience is taking all over the place. Deep in the blossom of the gentle night Is when I search for the light Pick up my pen and start to write I struggle, fight dark forces in the clear moon light Without fear, Insomnia, I cant get no sleep. I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry Getting stress, making excess mess in darkness Jean-Pascal throws the dices. The Game Officer - Ubiquity Square you're facing your evil twin. What are you discussing about? Jean-Pascal - I dont know, who is the evil, my twin? Ok. The Game Officer - Let s see, have a discussion with him. Another Jean-Pascal is coming onto the scene. They are starting to chit chat, then nervously they both stand up, the discussion is going on and on and on. After 5 minutes, the Game officer decides to interrupt the discussion and calls it off. The Game Officer- OK, looks like you both like to speak, and you both agree to disagree. Lets cut it now, it spoils the fun. Did you reach any interesting points? Jean-Pascal No we just both agree that we disagree. The Game Officer Ok sounds interesting, Emilie, lets come to you. Emilie Yes, and here are the dices The Game Officer Ok 2, you are arriving on Myth Square. You re escaping reality, you're in a long long long corridor, too many places around, and only one piece of string of the ground. Emilie - Ok I am trying to follow it. I am lost anyway, so lost for lost. The Game Officer ok so follow it! Emilie is walking in round and round and round in a snail shape to finish exactly over the square she was meant to be on. Emilie Fantastic, so why the line, I could have gone straight... The Game Officer I didnt make the rules, I am just applying them. Its mainly pointing out that you dont forcefully have to go straight to go to your destination... thats all folks. Jean-Pascal, your turn now. Jean-Pascal - Ok, Ive got to do a 10 to go through the finish line, come on dices, don t let me down. Hes blowing on the dices, rubbing them on his sleeves, and after other strange dances on his square, he is throwing the dices. The Game Officer Ah, At last, ok, how much? 3, thats excellent. Silly attitude and youre falling on drunken Square, what a nice coincidence. Jean-Pascal- Yep, I believe. So whats the goal, I am struggling to clearly identify the concept of ethylism The Game Officer - What an elitism Jean-Pascal - Yep, nice to say but I am still lost in the obscure dregs of the instant here! What do I do? The Game Officer Nothing, youre not able to, you're just losing ten days. Jean-Pascal - What? Simply losing them??? Nothing more, no more information The Game Officer - Yep you just lost them, now go ahead, you lost your turn as well, give the dice to the next player. Martas turn, she throws the dices. The Game Officer - Ok, 3 +4 7 Classical square just before the finish line. Time to dance to a music. Marta, let s bring some of the nice hot music you've got. Marta Yep, put the track on, I just will need somebody to join me Jean-Pascal I am up for it, what kind of music are we performing so? Won t be a ballet, tell me. The Game Officer Yep, not exactly, but you still have to get dressed up. As it was Martas turn,Marta, would you mind dancing a nice sevillana for us? Marta vale, ok come here Juan. Its nice and easy, just perform these easy steps with your feet, and follow me. For the

good, calm is key to happiness at some stages. A voice is coming from behind, cutting Emilie in her answer: Romain - Bull*cks, do not believe in that, thats all. Lets continue the game. Hubert Yep, Ok 3 and 4, 7 case discretion The Game Officer It s too dark for us to see, It s too long for us to know. Hubert Whats your question? I leave it to your discretion. The Game Officer ok you've got to say one thing true about you. Hubert - The most true thing about me? I am always lying to myself, the best way to live is to live on a velvet underground. Ok let s give some thought. Looking at Alexia Ok, the most basic truth: I am a man, and I am a lesbian. The Game Officer Please no cheekiness and seduction on the board, it will destroy the whole spirit of the play if you start by messing each other mind. Ok romain, your turn. Romain yep yep never let it go, and... The Game Officer Oh la, 9, let s see where its leading us A dark square is coming out of the ground of the scene, and Romain is calmly walking to it. The atmosphere begins to be darker, a cold wind is blowing down the theater. Silence is surrounding everything, the spectator can only hear the sound of the steps from Romains feet. Romain I am Romain, and I am roaming god knows where, why am I having now quite a lot of memories coming back to me? Why is it getting cold? Why am I the only speaking? What have become to the rules of this game now???? I am getting bored, nothing to do, just walking down here. Ah Hi Alexia, yep you as well, you are not moving, you look like a stone. Next Square, he is passing by Hubert Romain - Hubert you as well, first Ive ever seen you speechless. Ok thats definitely getting too complex, I am quitting! Suddenly, once arriving next to the square he was meant to be on, the black box opens, and a great white light comes out of it. Then, no idea, no words, nothing. A cardiac stroke hurt him. He falls down. The Game Officer - Yep you are already out so... bye. Ok next player All the players are getting quite stunned by what theyve just witnessed. Alexia Nobody told me we were as well playing our life down this game The Game Officer Its life, its a game. 8 Think about it, or dont Justin went back from university after a brawl he took part in. As usual, he spoke and took an active part in a discussion he was not first involved in. He defended points not worth to be defended. Still points to be added to a discussion that appeared to only head into one direction. In the evening, he parked his car to the garage shop. Two days, full maintenance. He took the bicycle in the boot and went back home, sliding between lanes, between cars, keeping running in a crowded path where this lane was the only priority he had on the road. Cycling, his mind went on thinking on another road, the road of information: You can know what I am watching. You can know what I am interested in. You can know what I am searching. You can know why I am reacting. You can know all that, and still you might be missing the point. I am a living entity, and my deep down wish is to keeping getting surprised by what youve got. Without any notice on my news feed Without any notice in my readers reaction Without any notice on my profile view Without any notice on what to expect I am here to get surprised. You know what I might not like, so will you? Bam, the final slope and he arrived home, only to see Henri deep into stack of papers. Justin picked one lying next to the door. Well, not before he went to the kitchen to fill one glass and one ice cube, the deep encounter of a spirit and its solid matter. He joined the living room, adding his breath and this scent to the atmosphere. Henri was deep into his thoughts, his perhaps, more likely some general

produce 1KWH in normal conditions, normal daylight, free context. And the results were adding up. For one unit produced by a square meter of nuclear, come numerous land units used to produce one unit through wind energy, through solar panel. Oil no, he didn't speak about oil, oil was out of frame. *** The remaining of the day was far from energetic if we may use this play of word. Drowned in the day to day business, he browsed his mail, sent few replies, planned actions on projects currently underway, and went back home. Situation there was calm, and relaxing. He started by a glass of whisky, no ice, and went to news from his group of friends. Via mobile, via emails, via social engine, via many things that took his mind away during at least two hours. Dinner time, he faced it. Something had to change, and he decided to update his CV and browsed for jobs. Looking through one, looking through many, he took 10 minutes to write a sensible covering letter: Henri Moufettal Email: HYPERLINK "mailto:waterprod@gmail.com" waterprod@gmail.com Reference: To join the future Bristol, the 27th of March 2011 Dear Madam, Dear Sir, I would appreciate very much if you could take my application to the position of into account. Fast learner and motivated. With this wonderful opportunity, I will hit the ground on the first day at work and will work efficiently towards the enablement of initiatives from me, from the team. At Babylon, I worked on New Projects, either under my responsibility, or being a key actor in their implementation. There, lean creativity is a principle that applies from project design to production and being continuously reviewed with all partners. My last experience exposed me to your industry, a field I want to get more involved in. Along previous experiences, I will give a shot at analyzing the situation, without paralysis and provided key insights through a clear synthesis. We will define from there key actions that will bring direct benefits to the bottom line of the business. I am looking forward to this opportunity and our future discussions. Along your teams, we will continue support the successes your company is known for. Yours Faithfully, On that, he went back to continue writing the play he started. Mind on, switched off, his brain was always working, so better find white papers to be filled. As usual, his mind didnt have the global picture of what needed to be done, of where he was going to, so simply he continued to write. He did find original the way each word was typed black and white imprinted for a short time before the next erase. In this dynamic art, he saved at times, his folder of draft keeping growing up. Draft is one of his look, always have to try, see after what comes. Show no regrets, support the remorse. He saw in his very own, but still negative, POV, a workable matter for his next chapter. Having a contradictory mind, the actors starts to enjoy the situation. 9 Likely or not 2 Act II Players are starting to get into the game Emilie is throwing the dices, she is going to queen square. A song from Queen starts in the back of the theater and a question rose: Who wants to live forever? Emilie got to answer, but feels the need for a joker and asks to listen the song again. Emilie No, I am so shivering in my impatience now, that even in my coffin, I will still be not calm. Death is bringing me peace, and is the nice end point giving all the values of life, isn't it? Alexia- Emilie, Arent you a little bit sad? That s quite straight forward of course, but thats the start of nothing more. Emilie who cares about the end? The interesting is at the beginning and in the middle, don t you agree? Alexia No way, that would mean to end everything whenever it s getting calm. Calm is

The Game Officer Welcome to Looping, we've got today 5 players for this round: Alexia, Romain, Hubert, Emilie, Jean-Pascal. First, no debate between players as soon as the dices have spoken. Secondly: the dices have all power, you cannot contest their figures. Third rule: I am ruling it all, and nobody can contest my decision, no question regarding the white book I will be filling in. Fourth rule: no complaint, no swearing Ready or not, the remaining of the rules will come during the game. First step, please select a symbol Alexia Ok, I will go for the bear, I like bears. Jean-Pascal ok, if it s got to look like us, I will take the hard top. Romain I am taking the elephant, don t ask why, It was that or a duck and Id rather walk straight. The Game Officer Ok, please, do not enter in psychology of each one, that would destroy the spirit of the game. Another rule. Emilie I am taking the parrot, it gives me the opportunity to have a nice relaxing discussion during the breaks. Hubert Ok I am coming last, still in the basement, so I am taking the bottle of wine. The Game Officer Ok good, let s continue with the rules. The game is played with two dices. The language to be spoken is fair, and will be English, no question about that. Hubert leaves the dices falling. 5 and 2 The Game officer 7, Square Igloo, you've got the choice to end the game now and retire or continue by throwing another time the dices. Hubert Ok, I want to see what s next, give me back the dices. Alexia throws the dice The Game officer double six, you've got the right to gain the bonus you would like Alexia Oh, everything? The Game Officer Everything. Alexia Thats gonna take a while The Game Officer You've got 5 seconds Alexia Ok let me think The Game Officer Five Four Three... Alexia Ok, I want to see the end. A light is arising. The board is emptying and leaving place to a big bright light arising. A Big bright Yellow sun is coming in sound, the sound of music brings everybody in the middle of the board, The end is released on the screen at the back. Two minutes afterwards, the lights are coming back. Every single player comes back to their place. Alexia- Ok, what s the interest of the game, to get a sun tan? The Game Officer come on, wouldn't be funny to unveil the finish line now... it s a game. You wasted your option, what can I say? Alexia- don't know, give me more indications next time. The Game Officer ok next player to throw the dices. Light of the night I enjoy your caress In a morning breeze I take up this flight Nonsense is what leads me To this portal 8 Wrestling time Came Monday morning. No notice, just a daft look from his shopkeeper. Shops opened 7/7 20/24 345/265, an ad to how he should live his life in itself. Back to the office, he took the time of a coffee and a quick chitchat to recap on the week-end. PR brought all things together to make sense, and here started the communication process. This morning, following the news in Fukushima, his agency was challenged to win a contract on a nuclear actor. Two months ago, the plan was to develop even further, now it was more looking to not going backwards. The agenda now reached a halt. Public opinions were all focused to this actor bringing energy to their kettle. So here came the dance of the meeting, think, create, and develop a business plan to win the contract. Straight he thought in a one-two: how to relax people minds now and get their eyes out of this negative foreseeable future. Perform a green initiative like Shell, bring power back to flowers? Well, another voice came and gave impulse to compare efficiency between modern power plants. The best defense is attack, and so came the efficiency parameters. How much land do you need to
