Sébastien Barrier is a phenomenon. A master of the art of oratory, passionate about natural wines and his cat, he gives his all in hilarious digressive lectures. Just when we thought we knew everything there was to know about him, the resourceful Barrier reveals that he's a fan of Sleaford Mods, a post-electro-punk duo from Nottingham. Wow! And that's not all: the discovery of this band has transformed his life, to the point of turning it into a show. While the initial effects of the encounter almost convinced him to call it all off, so brutal was the jolt and so immediate the questioning, these years of intimate and unbalanced relationship (he only met them in a dream, but wrote to them a lot) ended up helping him to find his own path. The result is Dear Jason, Dear Andrew, in which Sébastien Barrier pays grateful homage to his heroes in a jubilant performance of images, song and words.
In the press
[...] This self-fictional, densely populated "ceremony", carried by an epic verb, speaks of the power of the encounter, its capacity to transform the being and the world.

A funny, touching moment in which cynicism and vulnerability strike a rare balance.
