I like Island of my dreams
Haven't written anything here in 2015. My closest friends heard these words : "Can't wait december 31st, getting rid of that year." Haven't written anything. 2015. Facts, echoes, mysteries. What you know. What you left unsaid. What you can't explain....

A like Angelskar, time after time
Pal Angelskar. Actually, you should write his name like this : Pål Angelskår It's not - well, not only - because there is an angel in his name. I followed him. Because Pal is an über-talented songwriter and composer. And a great singer ; great voice,...

H comme Hajimete
Les étrangers traduisent le mot japonais "Hajimete" par "enchanté" ou "nice to meet you". C'est inexact. Les Japonais sont beaucoup trop précis, subtils et civilisés pour dire à un inconnu "enchanté", ce serait exagéré. Comment pourrait-on être sincèrement...

I comme Il y a sûrement quelqu'un pour qui ça compte
Je l'aimais... ... Prononcer ces mots avec le même chagrin. Prononcer ces mots trop souvent, ces derniers mois. Prononcer ces mots là-aussi, sans trembler, en souriant, dire à un homme bien en face, les yeux plantés dans ses yeux clairs, après une belle...

B like Beyond time, woman to woman
About being hungry. I heard dancers say these words, often : "I am hungry". A feroce appetite for work, excellence and new challenges. Appetite for dancing, acting, and stage. And here I was, back to the Opera de Paris, with a fierce appetite. Women's...

T like Thrill, vertigo, vertiginous thrill, and as time goes by...
D.R. Thrill, ça veut dire frisson. Ceux qui me connaissent savent. Que je suis allée à Londres en juillet 2011, que je pensais voir ce spectacle 2 ou 3 fois. J’y suis allée 5 fois. Chaque soir. Et chaque soir, les mêmes frissons. Thrills. Le même spectacle,...

P comme Pause
Décider de tout éteindre. Communiquer par la parole. Ou le silence. Le rythme de la conversation. Laisser faire la lumière. Ecrire, à quatre mains, la recette d'un après-midi tranquille. Prendre du temps, beaucoup de temps, une demi-douzaine d'heures,...
