The Flaneur chronicles the three day, angst-ridden journey of an inadequate academic in Paris. As he meanders through unseasonal springtime deluges, streets bursting with protest and a morass of bleak memories, he tries to control his tragic backstory by redirecting the flow of the present. Only one act will resolve his spiralling existential crisis and societal breakdown - the death of a celebrated author who is in the city to promote his latest novel. Our alienated traveller's philosophical and critical wanderings question the nature of art, obsession and endings.
