Giraglia is based on extracts from Jerks, composed by Pierre Henry for the Maurice Bejart ballet Messe pour le temps présent (1967). Vincens’ cinematographic screenings are more than a sumptuous show of abstract cinema, more than a visual illustration of an inside world where the music transmits an echo; they truly determine a sound universe with a lyrical synthesis whose force of persuasion is unique within the history of new art. (Maurice Fleuret) Presented by Light Cone, Paris.
