Synopsis
During 2008, composer Thierry Machuel goes regularly to the penitentiary of Clairvaux in Champagne Ardenne, to carry out, with voluntary inmates, writing workshops. These texts will be used as booklet for his forthcoming composition. As the words emerge, his music takes form and we get to take a closer look at this location, Clairvaux, where, throughout the centuries, the immutable mark of imprisonment is printed on the matter, the bodies and beings. And amidst all that, men are revealing themselves, living, creating, feeling.
