A multidimensional pop album, which responds to the name and echoes of an alter-ego from elsewhere: Prudence. To discover as part of the Boreal.

The piece Dissection of a snowfall
Within the framework of Boreal, the Caen Theater invites you to discover Dissection of a snowfall. This play by Christophe Rauck is taken from a text by Swedish feminist author Sara Stridsberg.
