Jérémie Danon has directed a film that is like a modern fairy tale that he brings to Le Nouveau Printemps as an installation accompanied by objects: relics of the adventure.

Without good guys or bad guys, without victory or defeat, Enthéorie is a film that is rooted in no spatio-temporal reality, unless it is the stronger, sempiternal reality of determinism. It’s the story of a certain number of characters that try to play their roles and follow the paths set out for them. The hero, with his adjuvant, a squire with a horse’s head, crosses hostile territory to find a princess he feels he must set free. His quest takes us to the palace, where the princess is impatiently waiting to be able to escape her own fate.

In a fantastical register, Enthéorie addresses the issue of determinism, free choice, and roles that are attributed to us through gender, social class, sexual orientation and skin color.
Jérémie Danon once more demonstrates his talent as a painter and filmmaker, the languages through which the artist shares his impressions about the world as it goes around, with documentary and fiction as tools of observation of the real and the imagination, classical narration, and ultramodern technologies, constantly seeking to overcome dominant divisions.
