Who is the author of an interview: is it the one who asks the questions, or is it the one who answers them? Here, the first case will be privileged, rightly so. And what is a rebel? Someone who doesn't do like the others, who lives a different life, who dares while others prefer to follow? There are rebels and rebels. I mean, there are real rebels and there are different people, who lead a different life, who have created their life without necessarily shouting louder. Rebels and great enthusiasts, in a way, who all push their passion to the limit and without worrying in the least about their social, professional or family background. All of them have something to teach us. Whether it's Salah Al Hamdani, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Michel Maffesoli, Alain Duault, but also a bodybuilder, an Everest record holder, a curator who created the largest poetry festival in Europe, etc. And why not? And why wouldn't I do what I envision for myself, what would make me dream and allow me to truly live, truly be alive? It's a little bit of all this that Éric Desordre seems to be looking for in these interviews that he conducts at a cracking pace. And paints a "portrait" of them.
