Description
Marseille, 1941: A liner sails for Martinique with artists and intellectuals on board fleeing from Vichy France, including surrealist André Breton, anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, Cuban painter Wifredo Lam, Communist novelist Victor Serge, and exiled German author Anna Seghers. The journey mixes history with fiction, augments reality, and invites other celebrated figures to join this new kind of ark, an allegory of all past and present forced expeditions.
