This polyphonic creation is inspired by the work of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935). Readings and songs intertwine around The Book of Disquiet, a unique work combining autobiography, essay, poetry and meditation on existence. The poems from the collections The Shepherd and Esoteric Poems become musical material. Translated into Corsican, this a cappella vocal repertoire brings together the A Filetta choir and the voices of the participants in a single poetic and collective vibration.
