Music composition by Joëlle Léandre


Even at my age I keep this rage, and this is political. I have this fire, I don’t know where it comes from; it’s just me. I kept this utopia to change the world, because, of course, I’m a rebel. We have to change the world, and art can change the world. Joëlle Léandre
