Falling, falling... and lying and falling... again: falling, falling? and again?... in the undergrowth of struktural violence, in the thicket of paragraphs, in the daily rat race for position, in the "social net"... in the jumble of prejudices, insinuations, indignities. Insecurity, fear, hopelessness, despair... could be the consequence. Could be.

Paul Celan (1920-1970), a Jewish poet whose mother tongue was German, articulates it by speaking of the "word reached in silence", and thus of the root of resistance, the token of which is the - despicable - deed itself; he speaks of the night that covers both, end and beginning. Three poems by Paul Celan stand - audibly - in the center of a composition consisting of five pieces of various lengths and one supplementary piece: "Flower" (in the first piece), "Argumentum a Silentio" (in the fifth), "Imagine" (at the end of the supplementary piece). Other poems (such as "Language Mesh" or "Night") serve - inaudibly - to reprimand the musical concept aimed at hope... meshes, networks, conditioning, programmed sequences, rigid systems... disturb, distorts, perforates, breaks up... and "swings itself free".
