Auguste dreams of being a singer in a band—that’s one of the reasons that drove him towards Alex, the singer of punk duo Siksa. Together, they create What will remain secret - Ce qui restera secret: a subterranean invocation that revives those schoolyard secrets that hide right inside the ears into which they were whispered, right under the skin they made shiver, or between the plots of land where they were buried. August and Alex no longer use the names they were given at birth.
In What will remain secret - Ce qui restera secret, they invite their children, who don’t use their names anymore, to re-enchant their bodies, or to give birth to them again. They sing to agitate memories and dance to build cabins where those memories can rest.
