Work based on the reading of K. Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, applied to the post-revolutionary Tunisian context. Interferences is a euphemism to name the counter-revolution. Revolution it doesn’t always mind to move forward. Taking as initial point the Tunisian Revolution, the work explores those dark steps of the process, which represent a backwards movement.
The work builds the story oscillating back and forward from the local Tunisian context to the more abstract revolutions’ dynamics and it was done along with the collaboration of key figures of the Tunisian Revolution and Democratic Transition, who see how their demands have been betrayed and substituted by identities debates and economical interests.
