Rituals: drawing the outlines of houses on the ground with wooden  sticks, spreading out squares of coloured paper, rolling up a long strip  of cloth, lighting candles… Each tableau is a ritual, with either the  positioning of objects or their removal.
For each tableau, a song. A very sentimental collection: Jacques  Brel, Sophia Loren, Melina Mercouri. With a  clear preference for the  1960s. A little of the world's innocence and the innocence of love has  been lost.
