L’Autre Monde ou les États et Empires de la Lune / Cyrano de Bergerac

The show proposed by Benjamin Lazar and La Rêveuse, is a guided tour of Cyrano de Bergerac's masterpiece, L'Autre Monde ou les États et Empires de la Lune, which circulated under the cloak until the death of its author and which appeared in its unexpurgated version only in the 20th century. This story is the first French science fiction novel, at the forefront of the scientific theories of its time: there is an astonishing demonstration of the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, flying machines of all kinds, meals of smoke, books that are read "with the ears"...
