9h34 Départ ou retard pour la transe. Mais être toujours en avance sans vraiment savoir pourquoi. Appuyer sur le REC et attendre. « Tu jettes pas ta canne quand le poisson passe ! ». Autre espace-temps, à Azillanet ça craquèle sous les rires. Certain.es se laissent surprendre par l’expérience, d’autres y plongent les yeux fermés. Se laisser traverser les oreilles !
