A group of performers have each memorised a book of their choice. They form a collection of living books that spend their time in the library waiting to be "picked up" by the audience. With disarming naturalness and without the intermediary of a physical object, the living books remind us that learning a text “by heart” is an act of love that mobilises memory as much as forgetfulness.
