Description
Venice, Old Fish Market Square in Venice near Rialto, the stands have been cleaned, the market closed, under the ancient arches of the market lights and shadows alternate in geometric games reflected on the stone floor. A little boy runs and jumps from one column to another, he is alone and cheerfully playing his solitary game. I watch all around, silence on the square except for the sound of the little boy's footsteps, I don't see any other children or any adults, nor his father or mother. The child opens his arms like wings of an airplane and runs liberties until he stops, leans against a column tired of playing alone. A voice is heard calling him, come, come home ! With a shrieking little voice he shouts no! I don't want to! As he says no to Mama, at the same moment a seagull flying low under the columns of the large colonnade screams its verse. It is as if he wants to shout along with the baby his no!
