“Sometimes, however, I am called to action by the siren song of that narrative faction“ emprunte son titre à un poème d’Yvonne Rainer (1). Loin d’en constituer une simple référence, cette citation se veut argumentée par un intérêt particulier pour un vocabulaire et une réflexion d’ordre chorégraphique et cinématographique développée par l’auteure américaine.

“Sometimes, however, I am called to action by the siren song of that narrative faction“ borrows its title from a poem by Yvonne Rainer (1). Far from constituting a simple reference, this quote is meant by a particular interest for a new language developed by the American authoress. A vocabulary as well as a choreographic and cinematographic reflexion.
