Une étonnante enquête à travers les siècles sur un gêneur nommé Moïse.

Selon los angeles culture Moïse est censé avoir écrit les cinq premiers livres de l. a. Bible. Il s'y dépeint de façon très étrange : avec et contre Dieu ; avec et contre son peuple ; porteur des tables de los angeles Loi, qu'il brise ; prophète incapable de parler, consultant vers une Terre promise où il n'obtient pas le droit d'entrer, mort dont nul ne connaît le tombeau... los angeles culture, jusqu'à nos jours, semble toute aussi déroutante, d'autant que Moïse est aussi revendiqué, réinventé, par le christianisme et l'islam. Sans compter Freud et los angeles psychanalyse....

Puisant dans los angeles culture rabbinique et dans sa propre mind's eye autant que dans l. a. Bible elle-même, Jean-Christophe Attias interroge les mots et les silences des textes. Il y distingue los angeles silhouette d'un Moïse bien différent de celui, d'un seul bloc, qui encombre nos mémoires. Un Moïse fragile. Un homme de l'exil et de l. a. dispersion.

A travers une série de photographs possibles – y compris celui d'un Moïse féminin – l'enquête de Jean-Christophe Attias étudie les métamorphoses, à travers les âges et les traditions, du libérateur des Hébreux : un judaïsme de l'esprit, de l'errance, de l. a. diaspora et de l'inachèvement – voire de l'échec. Ou presque.

Recevoir et transmettre. Écouter, quand bien même le message serait confus. Questionner, avec insistance surtout quand il n'y a pas de réponse. Tel semble bien être le judaïsme de Moïse, " un judaïsme qui parle aux Juifs et pas seulement à eux, invitant à en finir avec l'orgueil de l. a. tribu, los angeles violence des armes et l. a. tyrannie du lieu ".

Im Judentum gibt es nicht nur »Milch und Honig«, die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus: Es gibt Brüche und Widersprüche, häufig besteht eine Kluft zwischen Theorie und Wirklichkeit und oftmals existieren verschiedene »richtige« Formen.
