In the clearing of the Nymphée de la Dame blanche, actor Gilbert Meyer, founder of the Tohu Bohu theatre, will present a show inspired by the book La dernière fleur, written and illustrated in 1939 by the American author James Thurber (1894-1961), and translated in 1952 by Albert Camus. The interpretation will be mi in French, mi in Alsatian, by a tuilage of the two languages that everyone can understand.

Extracts:
“The Twelfth World War, as everyone knows, brought about the collapse of civilization.
Capitals, towns and villages disappeared from the face of the earth.
Bocages and forests were destroyed as well as all the gardens, and all the works of art.
Men, women and children were brought under the most vile species.”
“Books, paintings and music disappeared and human beings could only sit in circles, inactive.”
“Even the few surviving generals had forgotten the outcome of the last war.”
“One day, a young girl who had never seen a flower came upon the last that grew in this world.
She ran to tell the other human beings that the last flower was dying.
The only one who paid attention to her was a young man she found, wandering on an adventure.
The young man and the girl took care of the flower which began to revive.
One day, a bee visited the flower, then a hummingbird.
Very quickly there were two flowers and then four, and then a very large number.”
But it should be noted that Gilbert Meyer named his show not "The last", but "The all last flower". Does this mean that the 12th World War referred to in the book is, in its interpretation, the very last war?
