Adventures can be found anywhere, même dans la mélancolie

Sitting around a large table, several performers engage in the ongoing process of re-writing The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. Adventures can be found anywhere attempts to turn this single, highly debated, book into many different books, of seeing how far it will stretch. It is a tribute to the imaginative possibilities of reading as re-writing, how we each have our own version of the books we read, how we mix them with our lives and with the world around us.
