The Embassy of France, in partnership with the Institut Français, is pleased to announce the release of Night of Ideas in Brazil: Thursday, 30 January 2020, in Brasília, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In its fifth edition, Night of Ideas takes place this year in 70 countries, with the theme: "To be alive and forest". Rio de Janeiro, to French Rio de Janeiro Alliance supports the initiative takes place in Parque Lage (Rua Jardim Botanico 414), from 1600 pm to 22:30 with free entry.

This first edition of Night of Ideas in Brazil proposes a creative reflection on the forest, their challenges, their designs and varieties – the rain forest to the Atlantic Forest, cerrado for brushwood. The issue will be addressed and discussed in its various aspects: philosophical, scientific, anthropological, ecological, technical and social.

The program also has artistic and creative activities with projections and performances.

Two lines of thought will be explored:

"The forest as a living": in light of recent scientific and technical research, combined with the vision of a new philosophy of life, addressing alternative spiritual practices related to forest, the forest becomes a living being alone, an organism macro operating in symbiosis with all.

"A forest home of living beings": discuss the forest nowadays also means thinking of it as a place of living beings not just inhabiting, but who administer and modify. A historical resilience space, housing and biodiversity. The times urgently need the “living being” forest - with the verb “be” infinitive meaning a call, a scream coming from who should be understood and protected.
