Performed Reading - The Retrospection of What Preceded Us

Le Centre Pompidou-Metz, 1 parvis des Droits-de-l'Homme

Par Laura Vazquez, poetess and novelist In echo to the representation of John’s Paradox by Philippe Quesne Laura Vazquez reads a text, alone in the space. The reading is not a restitution of a poem already written, it is performed live, with hesitations, repetitions, moments of improvisation, changes of pace. The body keeps the rhythm as much as the voice. A sentence slows, another breaks, a melody settles and then falls apart. The text is assembled from excerpts of different poems written recently.
