Two Japanese actors read passages from ‘L’Empire des signes’ by Roland Barthes. His structural meditations on specific aspects of oriental culture – in this case specifically on the Japanese language and kitchen – are illustrated and substantiated by an entanglement of words, writing and image. The text is narrated and written in French and Japanese, accompanied by images of Japanese cooking rituals.
