Author of hundreds text fragments, stories of his days and feelings, Gilles Sage collects the material of his performances, always assembled in a different way. The autobiographical narration is distorted by the use of a discontinuous writing, interstice in which the audience can slip into, inserting its own binder. ‘Never-ending narration’, according to Barthes, as there’s no classic form of a beginning and a denouement, the fragmented form allows a repetition rhythmic, collision of words and humour. The delivered text does not only linger in the reader’s body, it takes part in a public sharing ritual of the inner self.
