Here, people pass by. Some hastily, others lingering. Most of them, curious, listen to only a few excerpts, a few passages. Holding attention. Being brief, concise and intriguing, pausing and changing directions. 10 miniatures movements for the same number of states, sensations or situations. Maybe a story of elusive things that brush up against us. Irrational, indissociable and integral things. A story at the intersection of absence and presence.
