Second part of Ange Duino's lecture. To access to the first part click here. What is that laugh which, for thousands of years resounded in caves, temples, sources, where "the gods", rising the children of men to the rank of immortals, "created men in their own image" ? Ange Duino invites us to a journey out of time to meet great mythological characters: Amaterasu, Zoroaster, Heracles, Hephaestus, Merlin, Abraham, Noah. All of them evoke the laugh of the initiates, that freeing laugh, which shows joy and accomplishment "specific to the being who access to the dynamic Universe".
The author analyses the multiple continuations of that initiating laugh which lasted till today. Liturgy, feast, or processions with strange actors maintain the message of the real meaning of life, an echo still alive from "the eternal laugh of gods".
