Abstract

This text was written during a residency in Bonneval-sur-Arc in July 2020 at the initiative of the Espace Malraux scène nationale Chambéry Savoie and its director, Marie-Pia Bureau. For two weeks, Olivia Rosenthal followed the work of the breeders and shepherds who graze their animals on the mountain pastures. The text, for which no publication was planned as part of the commission, was the subject of a reading in Bonneval-sur-Arc, on the 29th of August 2020, during the “Andiamo!” festival.
