Rubato ma glissando is the first part of a cycle devoted to composer Gerard Pesson.  Here he has joined forces with artist Annette Messager, whose work is similarly delicate and unadorned.  Together they have created an installation in the Récollets chapel and garden – a living, musical tableau that runs for twenty minutes.
