Chroniques de l'autre rive Michèle Sigal | | | | ‘‘Funeral homes, expert in the art of dressing up death, offer to ‘stage’ ‘tailor-made’ ceremonies designed to turn a person’s demise into a spectacular and unforgettable event, transforming death into a consumer product – the last one.
But the makeshift rituals, often borrowed from the most conventional and tacky aspects of social life, frequently result in incongruous, comical and tragicomic situations, as if death had a better sense of humour than life. That return effect is what I was trying to catch in mid-air in giving voice to this bungled staging of the trappings of death.’’ Michèle Sigal

| Michèle Sigal, an archaeologist of human fractures
‘‘Michèle Sigal’s writing is generous, poetic and rebellious, surprising, and outside the box. She breaks down walls to show us mankind’s foundations, like an archaeologist bringing to light all the layers of utopia and bestiality right there in the sediment, in the cracks in our feelings and consciences.
From Old Europe to New Mexico, her restless imagination and perceptive investigator’s eye dig into and bring out all the humour and strangeness of life.
Radio is the new medium for this rare talent, who has already proven her worth and well deserves our attention.’’
Christian Rullier, playwright and publisher
