pipe dream… portmanteau words …

at once entrenchment and fragmentation of sounds and senses …

Heard in a dream, a name that contains the innumerable names of a primordial being …

the thousand pieces of a persecuted child …

the thousand fragments of his image scatter in the mirrors of the universe …

reflecting the stories of natural disasters …

primordial nature revolts: cyclones, earthquakes, cataclysms …

like the broken mirror of madness …

The fluttering dispersal of the multiple souls of a dissociated being …

A myth of deaths and rebirths …

« The mythological world appears in the open wound of trauma … »

The dream’s imagery metamorphosed into musical, percussive writing,

hallucinating, teeth chattering …

Catharsis of the body and language in trance …

The reinvention of an archaic and new theatre …

Metamorphosis as fragments of mythologies from all over the world

at the confluence of intimacy and immensity …

The dreamlike process of a mythology both personal and universal.
