This film by Martin McDonagh describes the inhabitants of a small island in Ireland at the end of the war between Protestants and Catholics in 1923. In this community, no psychiatrist, no recognition of any mental illness. Even serious self-mutilation is not recognized as a sign of psychotic breakdown. This leads us to question the roles of the psychiatrist and the psychoanalyst in the city, from their absence.

It is by noticing a particular resemblance between the recording of “The Man with the Tape Recorder” and Edward Albee's play “Zoo Story” that Jean François La Bouverie and I have decided to bring them together during a reading. In the first it is an internment by proxy, and in the other of a suicide by proxy.
The previous workshops about the Man with the tape recorder are at #46 and #49

In the aftermath of the workshop where we could hear a reading of Peter Brook's play “I am a phenomenon”, We try to answer the question “Can we be normal without repression?” This phenomenal human has full access to his memories since he was 1 year old. He is obliged to invent a method of forgetting to prevent filling up his memory. As we could presume , no satisfying response has been provided to this question.
