CLEMENT VIKTOROVITCHL’ART DE NE PAS DIRE 2027Recommended for ages 14 and up Clément Viktorovitch, a doctor in political science dedicated to popularisation in the media (France Info, Clique, Quotidien), online (Twitch, Youtube) and in bookstores (Le Pouvoir Rhétorique, Logocratie), appears for the first time on stage in a biting fiction.

He plays the communication advisor to the President of the Republic who, after being brutally ousted, seeks revenge. His weapon?

A conference in which he decides to reveal all the secrets they used to seize power… Through this show, already 150,000 spectators have been able to grasp the tools for deciphering discourse and, beyond that, to question the damage that disloyal political speech can cause to our democratic life.

For many, this show was experienced as an act of civic resistance outside of party struggles; a festive moment to become aware of the extent of manipulations, to ignite our indignation, to ward off isolation and resignation, to unite.

In 2027, France will experience its presidential election. Perhaps the most important. Perhaps the one that will tip the balance. For this final tour, Clément Viktorovitch offers us a new version of L’art de ne pas dire adapted to the large format of Zéniths and Arenas.

In these very places which, at the same time, will resonate with the campaign speeches of the candidates, he invites us to experience an “anti-electoral rally” to celebrate our desire for civic mobilisation.

Faced with the degradation of public debate and the toxicity of political discourse, will we let ourselves be so easily swayed?
