Description: 

Poets lined up behind a table, reading their texts, one after another. In fourth place, and having worked with the students on the meaning of parentheses, I had gotten and set up two coat racks on the right and left of the poets. I read three texts and I positioned on the left and right of the table, on two watches and on the texts two authors. My second text beginning, I position the 2 coat racks at the center of the table horizontally, I retake my place, finish my reading with a voice more serious than that of the first reading. The third text beginning, I place the 2 coat racks between our table and the chairs of the audience. I complete the reading of my text, voice cracking, broken voluntarily. I finish my performance, giving the microphone to the next person and repositioning the 2 coat racks.
