Voyage Astral:
Through the Pole

Death in the Antarctic!

The conditions will be harsh. The mission is ill-fated. But the Aurora Borealis shimmers overhead and the majesty of an unforgiving wilderness appears. Clarisse Fougera will read a selection from her collection, Mon ȃme entière, en ruine se plaît.

Zeke Greenwald will read the entirety of his very short epic, A report from a little known polar exploration– 1911.Sound design by Rozenn Lièvre.
