Minashkuau
Sound Performance by Magali Babin (Canada)
presented on 25 June 2016 at La Vieille Loye (France)
I hear the song of the earth, all the spaces inhabit me, the ear has no borders
North of the forty-ninth parallel, on the highest cliff of sedimented sandstone, I hear the song of the earth
My fingers follow the red thread, my fingers search for the memory of ages beneath the eroded quartz
Through the venous grain, I sense a break in the sound, I hear the song of the earth
(From Madeleine Gagnon’s Réminiscences poem)
