The music speaks -
Speech becomes music -
The notes give life to the words.
Who takes the first step, the woman or the man? Myth tells us how the creator - by mistkae! - provoked that first step, the step that changed everything.
Linda Edsjö and Abbi Patrix create a dance with words and music, tell stories that are old and stories that are new, stories of fate, of love, of hte bridges between this world and other worlds. Malice, humour and metamorphosis are some of the ingredients in this brew, made to the sound of marimba, percussion - and even pots and pans.
The series “Storytellers on stage” enables the reader to encounter the work of artists whose work i ephemeral. In this way the world of the storyteller can be discovered through the text of their performance and through conversations about that performance. Although storytelling is an ancient art, it is very much of the present moment: the paradox at the heart of Editions Paradox.

The Companion (FR)
The Companion is the most beautiful Norwegian fairy tale. It stands out for the originality and richness of its structure, a chilling and magical suspense set in a distinctly Nordic atmosphere where trolls are everywhere, and where the unexpected and violent nature of the characters surprise in this journey to the heart of the imagination.
Available in French.
At the end of the world (FR)
“The earth is flat.
It’s only round at the ends of the earth.
For years I’ve been wandering with my drum and my sanza in countries where stories are listened to. I often find myself at the ends of the earth… Today, these stories are part of my life and readily blend with true stories and family histories.
