A modest office overlooking the Boulevard de Sébastopol, Paris. The actor Yann Boudaud is facing his director, Claude Régy. Last rehearsal of the play “Dream and Madness”, a poem by Georg Trakl (1887-1914). Silence brings the night, passers-by and cars file in the background. The actor takes us to the heart of Trakl’s dazzling poetry. Mental images open the mind. Dusky double exposure embedded like the recollection of a forgotten dream. Point of convergence of these combined forces – a poem, a director, an actor, a filmmaker. Trakl Sébastopol explodes like a precipitate of the human soul, shooting us off into the snowy night.
