The multidisciplinary Swiss company Numero23Prod. and Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne brings a very unusual Eurovision festival to the stage. Starting with thought as the basis of creation, they present eleven songs written by contemporary philosophers. Two presenters, Massimo Furlan himself and Sílvia Abril, will act as masters of ceremonies, and a local jury will consider and vote for the best piece at each show. This is a mischievous piece of theatre, that humorously resists the disdain of populist discourses and the disappearance of reflection from the public domain, in favour of entertainment.

“Because if we are here tonight it is to entertain us, it is to play our contemporary rites, but also to think, to have the pleasure of sharing a thought. To think is not to suffer, it is to be attentive, and to be active. Thinking is a pleasure that is shared, thinking is also being together, meeting, and listening to each other. Tonight we will merge the pleasure of music and thought.”
- Massimo Furlan i Claire de Ribaupierre

"Emancipation must be sung, and thought must be sung, for humanity’s true “common sense” is music, the fissure where the body and its conditions of liberation are always preserved. That is why it is good for philosophers to make songs.”
- Santiago Alba Rico
