The show would take the form of a literary recital in which Jacques Weber would read extracts from major authors who have made freedom of thought the core of their work. Victor Hugo, Gustave Flaubert, Raymond Devos, Pierre Desproges... their words, by turns serious, ironic or insolent, would constitute a rich panorama of committed literature. The whole would be carried by the singular voice of Jacques Weber, who would seek to make these texts resonate in a contemporary context, echoing the challenges posed to democracy and rational thought.

The evening would appeal to audiences who love literature, poetic recitals and public speaking theater. It could appeal as much to fans of great texts as to those sensitive to the political and civic dimensions of live performance. The format - single-voice readings - requires an attentive ear and an affinity with the works of classical and modern authors. On the other hand, audiences in search of a narrative or visual spectacle may find a more contemplative form, centered on the power of the word.
