Le tracteur à pédales
Le tracteur à pédales
Chez Bastien et Émilie Boustareaud / La Ferme viticole / Saint-Rémy-de-Provence / 4 hectares

Quels liens secrets, quels échos, unissent mes passages d’un domaine à l���autre ? Font-ils sens s’ils m’apparaissent ou relèvent-ils de la coïncidence anecdotique ?
Leur identification n’est peut-être qu’une des conséquences du nomadisme. On se met en route, l’attention aux détails, à leur mémorisation et à leurs interprétations s’accroit. J’y vois une forme de paléoréflexe (de survie) réveillé par les aléas d’un déplacement au grand air. Voyager est un affut de signes.
Cette Tarasque, par exemple, qui me talonne depuis ma traversée du Rhône, cette Tarasque va-t-elle me rattraper ? Me foudroyer ou me noyer ? Toute l’après-midi j’ai tenté de décrypter la trajectoire de ses coups de boutoirs, l’écartement de ses morsures électriques. Difficile, tiens, durant cette fuite à travers le Trébon, de ne pas penser à Léo Seguin, vigneron et chasseur d’éclairs, qui aurait usé des mêmes indices pour foncer vers l’orage.
Tiens, c’est justement depuis Le Mas des Roquets, il y a deux jours, que j’avais appelé Bastien Boustareaud, pour lui proposer d’accueillir Rhapsode. Bastien m’ayant répondu à la vitesse de – ! – c’est, chez lui, à La Ferme viticole, Chemin Monplaisir, 13210 Saint-Rémy de Provence, que j’ai débarqué il y a quelques heures. En nage mais sec de pluie.
Dans le coin, on métonymise encore Bastien du nom de sa première cuvée, Clandestino (2012), produite avec deux rangs laissés par un ami et d’autres grains grapillonnés ici et là – sans guère d'autorisations.
Il faut dire que ce grand gaillard volubile porte plutôt bien son titre. Tu es à peine arrivé chez lui que tu es déjà dans une voiture à sillonner les voies parallèles de la contrée, à écouter le récit d’un retour en garrigue (où comment un sommelier du cru passé par une cave chic à Paris et les croisières de luxe en Alaska en vient au vin naturel et aux arbres fruitiers) ; à peine rentré que le voilà éclipsé dans l'une de ses micro parcelles insérée dans les Alpilles pour un conciliabule avec un ami magnétiseur ; à peine revenu qu’il t’embarque dans son garage pour te présenter son vélo-tracteur électrique, conçu et fabriqué maison, pour les traitements biodynamiques : en remplacement du pulvérisateur dorsal et en complément du cheval occasionnel.
Maintenant je suis dans le jardin, en performance. Nous sommes sept. Trois voisins qui mériteraient chacun un portrait et l’équipe Boustareaud : Émilie, Bastien, et leurs deux enfants, Baptiste et Lucien. Invité par l’endroit – potager permacultivé, comptoir surmonté d’une treille, hémicycle des grands arbres, proscenium gazonné , pré non fauché en fond de scène, oiseaux et insectes – j’ai proposé, tiens, comme chez les Gavarches de Sommière, une version mobile de Rhapsode.
Où en sommes-nous ? À la septième lune peut-être, quelques goutes d'Esprit Libre (Nielluccio, Sciaccarello, Cinsault, Aramon et quelques hybrides en macération carbonique) dans le sang, bien accordés, ayant inclus dans notre cercle cette drôle de stèle portant relief d’une divinité manifestement soiffarde – qui m’attirait depuis un moment. Plus tard Bastien dira son adolescence passée à Tahiti et je comprendrai l’origine de ce Dionysos-de-pierre-là. Et me souviendrai aussi, tiens, du livre de Bronislaw Malinowski, précurseur de l’ethnologie contemporaine, qui attendait sur ma table de chevet au Mas des Roquets : les Argonautes du Pacifique occidental.
Et donc ? Donc rien. Juste des marques, des concordances, des entrées et des sorties, juste des rapprochements glanés plus ou moins clandestinement, par pur plaisir, avec mon cheval à pédales. Réjouissons-nous : c’est gratuit.

I’ve spent way too much time thinking about this so here’s arcane ships as classical Greek couples:
Caitlyn and Vi as Odysseus and Penelope:
They got their happy ending, at the cost of everyone else they love
Ekko and Jinx as Orpheus and Eurydice:
He finally got her back, only for her to slip away again
Jayce and Viktor as Achilles and Patroclus:
Maybe one of them could’ve survived, but neither wanted to live in a world without the other
Silco and Vander as Jason and Medea:
Maybe they could’ve been happy in another life, but there was too much against them in this one
I made myself sad as fuck with this so I hope other people see the vision

psst. "feminist" retelling writers. yes, i'm talking to you. i have a gift for you: here are some interesting women from greek mythology that you can write about that are NOT medusa, persephone or clytemnestra! there ARE other women, shocking i know!
-medea: she literally killed her brother and her children, i thought "female rage" girlies would be all over her
-danae: her life is so crazy, imagine being imprisoned by you father, getting impregnated by a god, being locked in a box and left to die at sea and then basically becoming a hostage to a king while your son is sent to kill a monster. and she's one of the only ones who, to my knowledge, actually gets a happy ending!
-atalanta: basically the only female hero in greek mythology!! and she was an argonaut!! c'mon now there is so much potential here, why does nobody care for atalanta
-the amazons: penthesilea! hippolyta! literally any of them! you're telling me there is a whole society of female warriors and so called feminist writers aren't jumping at the opportunity??
-hecuba: such a tragic and interesting figure, being the queen of troy, she lost her whole family in the war, i wish more people explored her relationship with her children (especially paris) and apollo
-andromache: i'm shocked andromache isn't more popular with the "tragic female characters" people, she literally lost everything basically because of men
-cassandra: i know cassandra is fairly popular, but i love her so much and i want more people to explore her relationship with her family, every dynamic has the possibility to be SO interesting
-electra: this whole family is a MESS and yet i see people mainly focusing on clytemnestra (with iphigenia), but not exploring the relationship between electra and clytemnestra is such a missed opportunity
-helen: i just want the focus of her story to be shifted from paris to the other people in her life, like her daughter hermione! how did they rebuild their relationship after troy? or her sister clytemnestra! what happened to her bond after the murder of agamemnon? or her brothers, castor and pollux! there is so much untapped potential
-demeter: there is a story about a mother's grief for her daughter, her journey looking for her, her anger, and yet every retelling of the homeric hymn to DEMETER focuses HADES to make him a dark romance mafia boss?? come on
and more!
conclusion: i'm tired of seeing the same stories being retold over and over again when there are so many characters to explore

Just watched Jason and the Argonauts and holy shit

I really crave whimsical fantasy.
I feel that today everything is poisoned with irony and smugness, even high fantasy. Everything has to be cynical or "a parody of", and it kills the romance.

This is the most epic shit i've seen in years in a movie, and that saddens me.

"Come, my heart, put on your armour" - Euripides' Medea
Medea sits on the porch of her house in Corinth after killing her children, in a short moment of contemplation, waiting for the arrival of Iason and her final triumph over him. She is the Deus ex Machina in her own play. She doesn't need a god to intervene on her behalf, she is half-god herself.
The Medea of Euripides is probably one of my favourite plays of all time with Medea being one of my favourite characters ever put on stage. Euripides is a master of the pyschological thriller and the portrait he paints of Medea the child-killer, Medea the witch, Medea the wronged woman, Medea the hated foreigner, is still so modern and so topical, even now almost 2500 years later.
