Courser le soleil : entre comédie, drame et tragédie, le coucher de soleil comme spectacle de la petite fin du monde
« Le soleil nʼa de spectateur que quand il sʼéclipse » écrit Sénèque dans ses Questions naturelles*. Le coucher de soleil est un spectacle du monde. Un spectacle qui se répète quotidiennement.
