Story
Cos'è quel "brivido ai polpastrelli" a cui è impossibile resistere? La smania che porta gli scrittori, nei secoli, a gioire e disperarsi davanti al foglio bianco, alla macchina da scrivere, alla tastiera del computer? Con la disinvolta competenza del narratore navigato e il tono sornione dei suoi pezzi su " la Lettura " del " Corriere della Sera ", Piperno ci regala un'irresistibile riflessione sull'arte di scrivere. "Si scrive perché si sente il dovere di farlo" sosteneva Philip Larkin, con un'ironia che non trascura l'aspetto etico della questione.

Story
Bien qu'Erik Satie soit principalement reconnu pour son œuvre de compositeur et pianiste, ses écrits poétiques sont à l'image de sa musique : souvent courts, empreints d'un humour absurde et d'une grande sensibilité mélancolique. La voix profonde et le timbre captivant de François Marthouret, se mêle ici aux harmonies délicates du piano de Christiane Gugger. La complicité sensible entre l'acteur et de la pianiste, souligne toute la musicalité et l'inattendu de ces écrits iconoclastes signés par l'un des plus grands précurseurs de son époque.
