Couverture rigide. Condition: Excellente condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Livre absolument NRUF! Jaquette rhodoïde. « 887 est une incursion dans l'univers de la mémoire, un récit qui prend naissance dans les souvenirs d'enfance de Robert Lepage. Des années plus tard, l'auteur et homme de théâtre plonge au coeur de sa mémoire, s'interroge sur ses mécanismes. Pourquoi se souvient-on du numéro de téléphone de notre jeunesse, alors qu'on oublie l'actuel ? Pourquoi des informations futiles persistent-elles, alors que d'autres, plus utiles, se dérobent ? De quelle façon un souvenir personnel trouve-t-il écho dans la mémoire collective ? Qu'en est-il de l'oubli, de l'inconscient, de cette mémoire qui s'efface avec le temps et dont les limites sont compensées par le stockage numérique, les mémoires virtuelles ? Toutes ces questions se distillent dans un récit où Lepage expose les affres d'un comédien qui - par définition, ou pour survivre - doit se souvenir, d'abord du texte qu'il a dire devant nous, mais également de son passé, et de la réalité historique et sociale dont il hérite et où il s'inscrit. » Sans pagination. Blanchet, Steve (illustrator).…
