Marie de France rode through the snow
Her suitcase story to be shown
Token took from Love lyric long
Pause, a moment to hear new song
Authorship, order, composition and collection, estimated, shaken and concluded.
Through film, painting and sound the creative method of Marie de France (c. 1160) will be reflected and expanded.
The XII Lais of Marie de France rearticulate the romance and adventure her ancestors composed, stories remembered and retold - written in rhyming Anglo-Norman, octosyllabic couplets and sung to harp.
IX. Milun
Ki divers cunte veut traitier,
Diversement deit comencier
Marie de France
To take a print, to project an image and to sing - is plausible when the story is begun with difference.
