SUMMARY:Duo Choeur(s)
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a multidisciplinary meeting between poetry and audio art that allow the creation of collages where poetic and audio influences intermingle. \nThe duos Chœur(s) are lengthy correspondences between poets and audio artists from different locations in Canada\, from the East Coast to the West.
