“A whisper, a shiver, the strange silence of nature…” ORLANDO, young poet
a little effeminate, writes poetry on top of his hill, and it is the only one
something that matters to him. One day his mother decides to send him to the king's court
so that he becomes "a worthy and virile man"... If only she knew! Having always
for the purpose and for the guide, writing and poetry, Orlando will undertake a journey
initiatory and being confronted with all kinds of adventures and experiences
surprising. By adapting Virginia Woolf's novel ORLANDO to his own taste,
Delphine Panique presents a light and funny album, which mixes both references
to literature, popular culture and travel stories while
questioning gender and sexuality in passing. Long out of print, the whole
Delphine Panique's first album on Misma gets a makeover in a new
edition embellished with color pages in which the author returns to
his relationship to the work of Virginia Woolf and his very particular manner
to adapt this novel.
