Sauver des vies
"Les personnages que met en scène Pascale Renaud-Hébert sont issus de deux mondes complètement différents : d'une part, une famille banale (une mère, Murielle, un père, Jean, deux jeunes adultes, Simon et Philippe) ; d'autre part, un jeune couple (Maude et Étienne). Leurs univers se fracassent quand Murielle et Maude découvrent qu'elles souffrent de cancer, et qu'il n'y aura pas de guérison possible. Chacun à sa façon, les hommes (père, amoureux, fils) doivent apprendre à continuer à vivre, à accepter la douleur du deuil. Mais plus encore, ils doivent réussir à s'effacer pour réellement accompagner celle qui lutte, qui comprend qu'elle ne réalisera pas ses projets, qu'elle ne verra pas grandir ses enfants, qu'elle doit lâcher prise. Sans éclat, avec pudeur et franchise, la pièce aborde un sujet extrêmement difficile et laisse la parole tant aux malades qu'à ceux qui les entourent. Comment un jeune homme qui pensait avoir trouvé la femme de sa vie peut-il envisager l'avenir sans elle ? Comment un père peut-il, dans un même élan, réconforter sa femme et ses fils, tout en vivant son propre deuil ?"--Publisher's description.
Art of the Fall
A story about love, art, and the 2008 financial crisis Towards the end of the 18th century, twenty-four traders would meet under a tree to buy and sell shares. The tree was located at 68 Wall Street, so called because of a wall that used to mark the northern limits of the colony of New Amsterdam, on the Island of Manhattan. On May 17, 1792, the twenty-four brokers signed, beneath the tree, the Buttonwood Agreement. This marked the foundation of the New York Stock Exchange, and the birth of Wall Street. Today, the tree on Wall Street has long since fallen. And the twenty-four traders' transactions, brokered in the shade of a plane tree, have become complex to the point of being almost intangible and immaterial. Finance has become an abstraction. And it pervades every sphere of our lives. Including contemporary art. Especially contemporary art. This love story, based on documentary research, follows a struggling artist and an opportunistic hedge fund manager. As Lehman Brothers falls and two worlds collide, we explore the darkest corners of the contemporary art scene, the global economy, and two broken hearts.

Antigone
Les deux frères d'Antigone, Étéocle et Polynice, se sont entretués pour le trône. Créon, roi et oncle d'Antigone, donne l'ordre d'ensevelir Étéocle, mais il interdit à quiconque de faire la même chose pour Polynice. Antigone refuse cet ordre, s'indigne et fera tout pour rétablir la justice. Depuis que Sophocle a créé le personnage d'Antigone, les artistes, toutes disciplines confondues, se sont approprié cette figure mythique de l'opposition à l'ordre établi. Que ce soit Brecht, Cocteau, Yourcenar, Anouilh, Racine, les adaptations et réinterprétations n'ont jamais cessé de fuser de toutes parts. Et si Antigone vivait à notre époque?? Qu'est-ce qui la ferait se tenir debout, quelle forme prendrait sa résistance??

Ethics and Sport in Europe
Defending ethics in sport is vital in order to combat the problems of corruption, violence, drugs, extremism and other forms of discrimination it is currently facing. Sport reflects nothing more and nothing less than the societies in which it takes place. However, if sport is to continue to bring benefits for individuals and societies, it cannot afford to neglect its ethical values or ignore these scourges. The major role of the Council of Europe and the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) in addressing the new challenges to sports ethics was confirmed by the 11th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport, held in Athens on 11 and 12 December 2008. A political im...
The Cat who Saved Books
"Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he has inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. However, one day, a talking cat named Tiger appears and asks Rintaro to save books with him. Of course, "ask" is putting it politely -- Tiger is demanding Rintaro's help. The world is full of lonely books, left unread and unloved, and only Tiger and Rintaro can liberate them from their neglectful owners. And so, the odd couple begin an amazing journey, entering different mazes to set books free. Through their travels, Tiger and Rintaro meet a man who leaves his books to rot on his bookshelf, a book torturer who cuts books to clips to help people read as fast as they can, and a publishing drone who only wants to create bestsellers. And then, the last maze that awaits leads Rintaro down a realm only the bravest readers would dare enter... Books, cats, first love, fantasy -- THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS is a story for those who know books are so much more than words on paper."--
