Flora ou le temps partagé

Dedicated to Flora Tristan The voice as an extension of the self, as a public condition, the voice as the everyday rhythm of life… the voice at the very edge of silence… The voices of Perec, Artaud, and Beckett.

Echoes of a celebration can be heard, along with the languor of a banquet drawing to a close, a certain intoxication that warms the mind and sets the body vibrating…
