Obsessive lists and absurd poems extracted from Jacques’ archive are transformed into a multilayered voice soundscape.
To engage in a newly found relationship with Jacques, Marie Ilse and Cecile read a selection of notes the isolated man wrote for himself, their female voices overlap in a frenetic rhythm, creating new and unforeseen connections.
