Les heures creuses
Piece in English, orally translated by Miles Hankin.
The installation called Aloof remains hidden out from the listener. Behind a door, in a space plunged in darkness and which nobody can enter (blocked out and slightly ajar door), two speakers emit a sound scene: in the foreground of a space that can be imagined as a reverberating inside one, a child emits unintelligible vocal signs (between scream, singing and breathing) which a man, standing next to her, simultaneously translates into an articulated language, namely into English and in reported speech. In the middle distance, some ongoing urban rumor.
