Description
A person seeks spectacularity.
The error is part of the attempt.
The child wants to be a heroine.
Contempt surrounds him.
The trauma is fire.
5 memories lead back to the abyss.
Twists, breaks, tension, punishment, competition, goodbye.
3 exercises push toward the light: hoop, ball, ribbon.
Cassette memories: Stravinsky, LeGrand, Chopin.
Inside the carpet, and outside. Excluded.
What world can welcome her?
