"The stage is strewn with loose sheets of paper, notebooks and shabby books, just as these warriors of the spoken word have mulled them over and assimilated them. For this unusual creation, a very action-packed live performance recorded in 2013 during the Sons d'Hiver festival, Saul Williams and Mike Ladd nevertheless demonstrate a real capacity for nuance. ""Citizens! Children of the night!"" Vibrant and intense, the two Americans run the fine, muscular gamut of texts comprising themes of history, social justice, one world-ness and revolutions, lending their strong personalities in service of poetry enamored with freedom. And if words are their raw material, Williams and Ladd hurl them at will to hip-hop rhythms and complex electro layers for an audience that's cleaerly touched by the power of their performance. **Jeanne Lacaille**".
