What happens when an adult endeavours to change language? Taking in the new language means swallowing a particle of another culture as well and the new being that is created may never be the same again. This personal essay on the experience of language uses the words of French and English speakers, language lovers and everyday "interlocutors".
Sarah Walker retreads the path of a pair of postserialists with Jean Barraque 's Concerto of 1968 (Paul Mefano directs Ensemble 2e2m) and Henri Pousseur 's Phonemes pour Cathy (sung by Linda Hirst ).
