L'homme qui plantait des arbres
Saturday May 30
Garage Cayla Iveco Route de Montauban 12200 Villefranche-de-Rouergue
A play by Jean Giono
While traversing a desolate, windswept region abandoned by men, the narrator happens to meet Elzéard Bouffier, a solitary old man who fills his daily life with a simple and generous action: planting trees.
Having been led in his life to participate in much larger undertakings such as the wars of 14-18 and 39-45, the narrator regularly returns to see the shepherd who, for his part, continues imperturbably his task.
Over the course of his stays, he observes how the imperceptible, peaceful and regular work of a single man can allow the rebirth of an entire region.
The man who planted trees tells us about those small gestures that change everything; about those hummingbird men who, to the best of their ability, minimally but undeniably, contribute to the proper functioning of the whole world.
