The tetralogy pieces are dominated by the concept and presence of death, foreclosure, fetal vertigo. As such, CRISTAUX is a real descent into an inner labyrinth, which we do not know if it is organic or cultural.

The pantheistic intoxication - close to that evoked by Nietzsche - seizes places, objects and participants.
