Among the infinite paths of speech open to us, which one should we take? Which words should we use to echo with which others? How can we rid each sentence of the superficial layers in which it is shrouded? At Berthier, Laura Vazquez brings us three propositions, three distinct forms – for three performances – in order to get to grips with, once again and as ever, language.

Five dates

1990 I speak to God; I compose little prayers in my head and write them down with my own hands.

1992 I discover that the person raising me cannot read or write. I have a power that is too great for me.

1999 I turn away from God; I write poems, songs and stories.

2005 First episodes of depersonalisation, panic attacks, borderline states, serious problems for which there is no cure. Books and texts are of no help.

2017 My first novel, La semaine perpétuelle, teaches me regularity, humility and service. I am changing.
