Olivia Tapiero presents CE MONDE EST MORT INSTALLE-TOI, a reading of unpublished texts. The spoken word navigates through poetry, incantation, speech, storytelling, rupture, silence, and repetition to explore themes of war, death, and the condition of bearing witness to what crushes beings and languages "through extreme reason, extreme civilization."
