From Lausanne to Venice, via Delémont, Lucerne and Solothurn, Pierre Wazem visited the various festivals that take place in these cities and brought back a whole series of strips made in situ, strips that Atrabile collects today in a horizontal format.
Acting as a special envoy on the spot, but never really in the right place, with a changing interest, a piquant gaze and a beautiful propensity for the evil spirit, Wazem is interested in everything and nothing, digresses, fantasizes, and reveals occasionally some of the best-kept behind-the-scenes secrets of festivals. Interrupted in his wanderings by you-guess-what, Wazem also gratifies us with a “covid interlude,” since the author suffered from the disease in its long and resurgent version – which did not prevent him from keeping his sense of humor.
On the menu of «En Coulisse» we have shattering revelations, countless cameos, some obscene situations, a little irony, a touch of the absurd, and a simply irresistible humor.
