Comprendre

Comprendre is a story about the adventure of a body

"You can't invent pain. It can't be imagined until it's experienced.
In this labyrinth of appointments, I was fighting an obsessive battle.
Pain, tenacious and deep-rooted, had taken over my life.
And at the heart of this universal experience, the paradox of being enclosed between four walls of solitude.
To do this, I went back in time. I summoned my own, delved into my memories. Through the prism of the body and its twists and turns, I've told you my story.
I wrote this story the only way I knew how. I had no choice."
