Songs · 01—12

One party. Twelve stories.

A shortened dress, an unplugged microphone, two hens on the loose. Each song opens another corner of the gymnasium.

  1. 01The bride cuts her dress shorter. Two helmets are waiting, and the scooter is behind the wall.

    Neuf heures au gymnase

They had asked for ten chairs.

There are sixty-three. In a gymnasium turned wedding venue, the newlyweds leave on a scooter before the cheese. Around their two empty seats, everyone tries to salvage something: the meal, the speech, the vote, a dance.

The story passes from one voice to another. Small gestures move it forward: a hairpin removed, a switch lowered, four hands under a table that refuses to fold.
