Why do we obey? What role has obedience played in human history? Can you hammer a nail with a banana? This second 3h44 episode continues to ask a lot of questions, but still doesn’t tell the time. For space conquest, there’s NASA, and for disobedience, there’s the Laboratoire d’Imagination Insurrectionnelle founded by Jay Jordan and Isa Frémeaux, our guests on this 3h44. Before settling down at the Notre-Dame-des-Landes ZAD, Jay co-founded l’Armée des Clowns and Reclaim The Streets, while Isabelle is the author of a thesis on communities that play outside the box. In this trip to the land of disobedience, you’ll come across Ugandan poet and activist Stella Nyanzi. Exiled for political reasons to Berlin, she uses “radical rudeness”, the art of the insult, to attack the Ugandan government. You’ll meet the NPCs, those video game non-player characters who can’t be manipulated. Finally, you’ll descend into the catacombs in the company of Russian artist Petr Davydtchenko, who experiments with alternative lifestyles to create an out-of-frame work.
