As part of ” Multidisciplinary Poetry Evening” with also showing the performance Skinstrap by and with Thomas Israël, le Printemps des poètes and its festival ‘Mois de la Poésie’ present Fragments, an interactive AV performance here in a poetic version resulting from the collaboration between the Quebec poet Jean-Marc Desgent and the Belgian sound artist Gauthier Keyaerts.

The latter, inspired by the writing force of the Montreal poet and his “electricity” imagined four narrative strands, four trips through sounds and images that will be transformed as Jean-Marc Desgent recites his text. This performance is based on Octophony, a dozen effects with gestures and on/off loops and a big-screen for the projection (visuals by François Zajéga).
