Screening of the complete famous BUP episodes by Nicolas Boone

“The series is a fabulous pretext for writing and deploying narrative tricks. ‘A representative fresco,’ it allows one to move forward with joy and happiness in the hell of the system. Going further into the body of the citizen and involving them in an increasingly corrosive panic, BUP tries to exhaust the BUP concept. But BUP carries the intoxication of the system even further and definitely knows no limits: BUP can always surpass itself in and through the human being. BUP promises happiness to a consenting and blinded audience. The projections with the real world are evident. They are mixed, turned around, embellished, and assembled, thus ridding us of them. And if BUP were only the story of BUP, where reality projects itself until it merges into it. Reality is a fiction, which ends up becoming a BUP fable! BUP would self-destruct and ultimately bring no equivalence to the real world.

Opening the eyes to the horror of the system, isn’t it the condition for re-enchantment?

Faced with the fatality of each episode, the opportunities given to the audience to escape into the margins or take escape routes are numerous. Through surprises, the unexpected, rhythmic writing, and systematism, the episodes become playful and allow the tragedy to be turned into visual, narrative, and humorous pleasure… Poetry ends up bearing the burden.” — Nicolas Boone
