L’Encyclopédie de la parole is an artistic project that aims at exploring every possible form of orality. Since 2007, this collective has been gathering all kinds of recorded speech
acts. First produced in 2009, Parlement is a solo performance for a single actress which aims to reproduce some of these recordings vocally. Pursuing this approach, Suite n°1
« ABC » is a recital for eleven performers and eleven guests where the rich, strange dimension of the most common spoken words can be heard.
