The editorial structure is the one of an anthology. While browsing the book, the plays’ titles stand out from the text and images stream, they refer to some of the artist’s set design. In Guy de Cointet’s plays, narration and visual should be read together and, in order to comprehend the scripts, it is essential to understand the shape of the stage props and their manipulation by the performer. Therefore, in the book, pictograms of the accessories stand alongside the text. The stamped initials on the cover refer to Cointet stage design. Reading the book almost becomes a theatrical gesture.
