If I were…with Nathalie & Christian
In this “ENCOUNTERS” section, we are honouring people who share the vision of Les Racines du Ciel, whether they are partners, collaborators, friends, artists or simply in tune with the way we look at our profession, our epoch. To launch this section, we are ready to play “If I were?” Les Racines du Ciel style!
Romain Gary's letter to an elephant
Our first “FOCUS ON” is dedicated to one of our favourites, Romain Gary’s “Letter to an elephant”, first published in March 1968 in Figaro Littéraire. It invites us to find our inner child, to question ourselves about our hyper-materialistic societies which devour everything, animals, plants…even our own humanism.
Literary, emotional and lucid, please take the time to read the letter, it’s truly beautiful.
