Description
"In this work you will find previously unpublished critical texts, the scores of a new pantomime and choreography already successfully performed on Parisian stages, an original manifesto, new mimic arguments and photographs that constitute the entirety of my contribution to the arts of dance and mime as of June 1960. Thus, we Lettrists have entered pantomime and choreography with the same thirst and the same creative powers as in all the other domains previously explored by us: poetry, music, visual arts, cinema, novel, etc. This proof that there exists within us a source of spiritual riches capable of fertilizing any territory should encourage you to approach the whole of our achievements more closely, with open heart and mind. Finally, this note allows me to thank Isidore Isou, who kindly agreed to preface this work with an important study, as well as Paule Thorel, Suzanne Rémon-Risler, Claire Motte and the performers of my works, for the help provided during their creation". Maurice Lemaitre - June 15, 1960
