« Enough had been thought, and said and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done ». (On avait assez pensé, et dit, et ressenti et imaginé. Il était temps de faire quelque chose) – C.S. Lewis, extrait de Surprised by Joy (1955)
Ces mots, issus du cheminement spirituel personnel de l’auteur, m’ont profondément marquée par leur force. Détachés de leur contexte originel, ils trouvent aujourd’hui un écho particulier face à la crise écologique que nous traversons.
J’ai donc décidé de m’en inspirer pour Enough has been said, qui est composée de 5 mouvements:
I. Penser
II. Dire
III. Ressentir
IV. Imaginer
V. Agir

« Enough had been thought, and said and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done ». – C.S. Lewis, excerpt of Surprised by Joy (1955)
These words, drawn from the author’s personal spiritual journey, left a deep impression on me because of their strength. Detached from their original context, they now resonate in a particular way in light of the ecological crisis we are experiencing.
I therefore chose to take inspiration from it for Enough has been said, a piece composed in five movements:
I. Think
II. Say
III. Feel
IV. Imagine
V. Act
