Le bruit des soupirs
Roxanne Turcotte
Programme notes
What is hiding behind that longing sigh that speaks so loudly to my ears
Our inner silences dictate occasionally noisy behaviours and reflections. Human battles, debates, failures and sideslips are changed by the ideas, passions, desires and beauties of the world. Exotic bird songs, nature sounds and Creole words from the Seychelles Islands transport us into a wonderland, despite a black shadow cast by a luxury hotel dumping toxic waste in a waterway close to dwellings.
