MAITE LEON / ADAGP Entre eux, ils parlent un langage abscons ponctué de « Momo », de « TM6 », de « Varoma », de « mode sens inverse ». Ils manient l’humour d’initié : « Je l’ai fait avec mon Companion… » Et semblent animés d’une fierté, d’un enthousiasme, d’une ferveur presque, démesurés par rapport à ce qu’ils évoquent. A savoir la brioche, le velouté … Read more
