| Summary: | When we listen to a reading by Christophe Manon, we are struck by the originality of a “sound fabric” made of ruptures, where the murmur is a constant stream of music that nothing seems to be able to stop. In the poem of the continuous body-voice that is Extrêmes et lumineux, we are plunged into the heart of a narrative in medias res, immediately carried by a rhythm that is marked by heterogeneity (interrupted narrations, plurality of reported speeches, pieces of letters, lists, etc.), and marked by the unity of a form-sense gathering the multiple. It is from this observation that we will see how the movement of this voice, listening to its own desire to grasp something of time, carries out the inordinate gesture of gathering voices, and proposes nothing less than to make the present palpable by a vocal both physical and plastic, echoing in this way through poetics, the philosophical intuition of time according to Bergson, as a movement and duration constantly reinvented. |
