Noé

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani brings up Noah mainly to read "Mouvement", Rimbaud's illumination. From 2014 to 2025 he keeps returning to it: he sees the vessel in the poem as a Noah's ark12. This vessel carries races, classes and beasts3. It flees the Earth4 and moves "under a diluvian light", which recalls the Flood5. He reads in it Rimbaud's image of the future world6. In the presentation of the 2018-2019 season, he specifies that this ark, here, is science7. In 2025, in a close reading of the poem, he again points out the allusion to the ark and the Flood8. He also keeps another feature of the biblical account. After the Flood, Noah plants the vine, whose fruit "gladdens the heart of man"910. He recalls this in 2017, in a workshop on crisis and war, and again in 2024, in a session on evil and the "dis-knowledge" of oneself.
