Generally, a lecture is a discourse about a specific subject, providing  an enlightenment of the question being dealt with. But when the members  of GRAND MAGASIN adopt this didactic format, it is highly likely that  the question being raised, and the answer provided, will not follow  parallel paths. Whether the theme is work, comprehension or routine, the  thought of Pascale Murtin and François Hiffler adopts twists and turns,  reflecting the meaning of the phrasings they use, whose mechanisms they  expose with jubilation. In the performative catalogue of GRAND MAGASIN,  action is structured like a language, and the activation of language  triggers a taking-up of action: in unison, as a canon, their voices and  bodies delve into the blind spots of language, overturn phrases, words,  commas, and play on all the effects of misunderstandings. Le Sentiment de compréhension and Éloge et défense de la routine  have in common their aesthetic of taking things literally and then  unliterally with, in their crosshairs, the same question: “What does  speaking mean?”
