Demotivational Speaker - Speaker on innovation
A fake speaker who encourages THINKING AGAINST THE CONSENSUS to innovate and stand out from the competition
(Show-conference written and directed by Régis Clinquart.)
Performed by actor Laurent Lafuma, Vincent de la Ribaudière is a fake speaker, president of the fictional foresight institute CS2X.
His favorite themes: leadership, collective intelligence, workplace suffering, responsible consumption, global warming, new technologies, connected health, corporate mission... which he addresses from a resolutely critical and sarcastic angle, dismantling clichés with a deadpan humor that leaves the audience torn between hilarity and astonishment.
We laugh a lot and suddenly everything stops: the actor drops the mask and reveals the deception, the "conference" was just a hoax.
In a conclusion as sincere and inspiring as it is unexpected, the actor explains to the audience the reasons for being of the demotivational speaker: to demonstrate absurdly the necessity of always exercising one's critical mind, and daring to think against the consensus to innovate, unleash one's full potential, and STAND OUT FROM THE COMPETITION.
