The Paris of Matei Vișniec
The Paris of Matei Vișniec

Summary/Abstract: The Paris of Matei Vișniec is one of nostalgia, of the daily street show, of the joy to live in a horizon where past and present, story and history go together, in a harmonious, lively, coloured manner. The documentary made by the Romanian Television (TVR) Iași, in 2015, represents another touching page, signed by another great Romanian who settled down in Paris. Cioran, Ionesco, Eliade, Tzara, Brâncuși breathed there and looked there for their calm, their freedom, their fulfilment. They stood out in a quite significant way and fulfilled themselves, becoming voices who made themselves heard beyond France’s borders. And Romania’s as well! They signed pages of glorious artistic revelations, which seemed as natural as possible, parts of the universal cultural life, turning thus into undeniable trademarks and symbols. Matei Vișniec, together with George Banu, come to join this list of illustrious ones, in a natural, but also abundant, full and bright way. To the applauses after the shows we add the applauses of thoughts and those of words. Just like the TVR documentary does.
