So here is a story of dialogues under the high sign of friendship. Fourteen dialogues in all, to which two characters lend both their voices and their sensibilities. One is an artist (Gérard Jullien, painter, engraver, and draftsman) and the other is an actor (Daniel Crumb). But dialogue, as everyone knows, is neither a discussion nor a debate. It requires precision, tact, discernment, skill, wisdom, waiting, and suspension.
It is no more a discourse than a conversation. According to its etymology, it would even be a word that crosses, as a means of passing from one to the other, from one through the other incessantly, rather than claiming to express such or such a point of view in search of a conclusion. This is why we can undoubtedly affirm that a true dialogue is established between the two, whose object is a large black notebook, and more precisely what it contains that is most precious: a series of remarkable drawings, made by Gérard Jullien, singular, provocative, twirling, disturbing, where a succession of sorts of scenes and astonishing characters discovering islands and continents, as Daniel Crumb writes with accuracy and poetry.
Like a promise, there would therefore be something to share, between these pages, like the story of a sincere friendship under the high sign of dialogue.
