Mats Ek • Opéra Garnier, Paris • April 2011 • © Saint-Exupery, "Le Petit Prince". About reality... It’s just a vision. I imagine. Every time I watch a piece by Mats Ek, I know that time has come to watch the elephant in the boa. Mats Ek could be the one...

T like Time is lost & time is found
Time we lost never gets back. When you're sad about something there's usually one single thing to do. Some do, some don't. I was sad about leaving, there was only one thing to do. Staying. Time is what you want it to be. Lost & found. • •

N like No way, time we lost never gets back
D.R. Le temps perdu ne se rattrape jamais. Je pourrais regarder ça un million de fois. Ce moment. Je le nomme perfection. Vu peut-être dix fois, au maximum. Tôt ou tard, une prochaine fois. Impatience. Time we lost never gets back. I could watch this...

J like Just another time
- Last year, almost exactly the same day, 8th of March. Another time. Somebody said to me : "Just be yourself tomorrow. And when it's done, don't drink." As if I knew how to be a serious drinker... I can enjoy a mojito in front of the waves, though. -...

V comme Vérité
" Justesse Je suis pour la démesure, mais pas pour la démagogie. La fausse folie, je m’en méfie terriblement. J’ai toujours essayé de suivre mon chemin en me gardant, d’un côté, de la facilité, de l’autre, de l’imposture intellectuelle. La facilité, c’est...
V come Viaggio in Italia
Un voyage peut durer seulement 24 heures, avec la même intensité que 24 jours. Milan n'est ni Rome, ni Florence, ni Venise... Et pourtant. Milan est italienne. ... Je me suis souvenue de ce que je sais : dans une vie antérieure, j'étais Italienne, c'est...

S comme Simple
Anything but simple. Rien n'est plus difficile que de faire simple. Sensation que parfois rien n'est simple. Le mystère là où on ne l'attend pas. L'inattendu plus perturbateur que réjouissant. Le malentendu surgi de nulle part. Les informations contradictoires....
D comme Doux Délires
