Et si les Beatles n’étaient pas nés ?

“Exploring various euchronias, starting with one in which The Beatles never existed, this essay examines in particular the role of chance and historical determinism in artistic creation. A method which is a testament not only to an openness of mind, a suppleness of reasoning, to a crazy inventiveness, but perhaps above all to a sense of humour which is both extremely sophisticated but also very profound and sincere.”

Nicolas Grospierre, jury member
