The Primordial Impasse (2022)
SYNOPSIS
« Why be afraid of the nothing in store for us
when it is no different from the one which preceded us? »
A man shares his thoughts on the condition preceding our birth.
A handful of fortuitous auditors are ephemerally linked by the
synchronous experience of listening to this reflexive message.
The project is based on the writings of philosopher Emil Cioran.
