Summary

Micromégas est un géant sympathique venu de Sirius. Chassé de son étoile, il visite le cosmos et y fait d'étranges rencontres. En compagnie d'un "petit" habitant de Saturne, il découvre sur Terre un peuple d'atomes intelligents", minuscules, mais doués de raison. Dans un monde où tout est relatif et où règnent les injustices, il parvient à converser avec quelques philosophes. Situation cocasse qui révèle au visiteur l'immensité de l'ignorance des hommes, qui pourtant sont de grands mathématiciens.

Micromégas rappelle Gargantua de Rabelais ou Gulliver de Swift. Dans cette satire, Voltaire porte une nouvelle fois un regard sévère sur la société et traite le thème de la relativité universelle. Un merveilleux voyage où s'accomplit un rêve de l'homme : abolir la pesanteur, annuler les distances. Voltaire s'amuse. Il va installer dans le cosmos les mœurs de Versailles et de Paris.

Narrateur : Michel Chaigneau, acteur, a servi de nombreux textes classiques et contemporains.
