Based on a true story that stunned the world, M. Butterfly opens in the cramped prison cell where diplomat Rene Gallimard is being held captive by the French government - and by his own illusions. In the darkness of his cell he recalls a time when desire seemed to give him wings. A time when Song Liling, the beautiful Chinese diva, touched him with a love as vivid, as seductive - and as elusive - as a butterfly.How could he have known, then, that his ideal woman was, in fact, a spy for the Chinese government - and a man disguised as a woman? In a series of flashbacks, the diplomat relives the twenty-year affair from the temptation to the seduction, from its consummation to the scandal that ultimately consumed them both. But in the end, there remains only one truth: Whether or not Gallimard's passion was a flight of fancy, it sparked the most vigorous emotions of his life.Only in real life could love become so unreal. And only in such a dramatic tour de force do we learn how a fantasy can become a man's mistress - as well as his jailer. M. Butterfly is one of the most compelling, explosive, and slyly humorous dramas ever to light the Broadway stage, a work of unrivaled brilliance, illuminating the conflict between men and women, the differences between East and West, racial stereotypes - and the shadows we cast around our most cherished illusions.

Social Media & Digital : 6 tendances pour 2012Emmanuel Vivier
Social : 6 trends for 2012 : Social networking continues to grow, mobile too, everything going digital (even objets with 3d printing: be prepared for a retail revolution), everything get connected even objects. Brands are still running behind in budget mix, or by focusing only on social tools instead of rethinking their customers relationships. It is all about content, contagious experience and utility, no about pushing the same message over and over to your audience. You need to start creatng unique experience, personnalized... Social CRM is going to come soon and don't focus only on digital... have an integrated view on things since digital, social and offline are just mixed and there is only one consumer.
Social : 6 tendances pour 2012 : les réseaux sociaux et Internet continuent leur croissance. Le nombre de plateformes se multiplie : Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram,... tout devient digital, même les objets avec l'impression 3D qui va révolutionner le secteur du retail. Tout devient aussi mobile. Le web s'est échappé du PC, les objets aussi deviennent connectés. Cela va être plus dur pour les marques de comprendre qui est leur concurrence. Ces marques sont encore en retard en termes de culture et de dépense. Elles se focusent trop sur les outils et plateformes, il faut qu'elles développent une vraie stratégie et dans certains cas leurs propres plateforme et communautés. Créer des comptes Facebook, Twitter,... ne suffit pas à devenir social. Il faut créer un vrai service, un contenu à valeur ajoutée ou une expérience contagieuse pour mériter l'attention des consommateurs. Cette "expérience" doit être la plus surprenante mais aussi la plus utile et personnalisée possible. Oubliez le même message pour tous. Cette personnaisation en temps réel permettra d'aboutir au "social crm" qui se devra aussi d'intégrer le offline. Les changements des 10 années passées ne sont rien par rapport à ceux qui arrivent pour les 10 prochaines années...

3. SYNOPSIS
In a bleak northern city, two small-time gangsters
– TARIQ & BOXY – kidnap a psychic medium –
ALICE. The pair hope to discover the whereabouts
of a stash of cash, hidden by their murdered boss
– FRANK. Abducting Alice and forcing her make
contact with Frank’s spirit, is their last, desperate
roll of the dice.
During the séance Alice is possessed by Frank, a
brutal ‘old school’ gangster, who refuses to tell his
former associates the money’s whereabouts. Frank’s
reluctance to help is explained by the revelation that
he was murdered by Boxy during a fall over their last
drug deal. Expecting this response, Tariq has also
kidnapped Frank’s beloved Lucy and imprisoned her
in the boot of his car.
The threat to Lucy is sufficient to persuade Frank,
still in possession of Alice’s body, to lead the
gangsters to a huge, neglected and overgrown
Victorian cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
In a remote and particularly shabby corner of the
necropolis, Frank explains that he buried the loot
beneath a grave.
While Tariq returns to the car to collect a shovel,
Frank reveals that, as a spirit, he’s witnessed an affair
between Tariq and Boxy’s wife. Although initially
dismissive of the disclosure, the thought eats away
at Boxy until, eventually, he snaps and confronts
Tariq about his betrayal. Holding a pistol to Tariq’s
head Boxy demands answers, but distracted for a
moment by Frank, Tariq manages to knock the pistol
from Boxy’s hand with the shovel. All Tariq’s anger
and frustration at Boxy pours out, as he repeatedly
drives the shovel into his partner’s head. Boxy
brought this on himself, when he murdered Frank.
By the time Tariq’s anger is spent, Frank has calmly
retrieved the gun and now stands ready to enact
the final stage of his revenge. Tariq pleads for his
life and offers Frank all the money, but for Frank this
isn’t about money, it’s about payback. Tariq’s greed
and ambition was the real cause of Frank’s untimely
death
After torturing Tariq, Frank shoots him in the head.
In return for showing Alice where the money really
is buried, she agrees to let Frank have a few more
minutes in this world with his Lucy – a small French
bulldog. Frank pleads with Alice to look after his
beloved pooch and she agrees, but the moment
Frank’s dispatched back to the afterlife, Alice reveals
her true colours. She abandons Lucy on a remote
moor and heads home.
Back in her flat, with a big bag of money, Alice is
ready to make a new deal with the spirit of another
departed criminal…
