​Not long after Samuel Beckett's death in 1989, John Calder, his London publisher, collaborator and close friend, decided to move to Montreuil, outside Paris, to live in what once was the office and basement of an 8-storey block of apartments constructed after the War.
​
« But no big revelation is to be expected, Sigg isn't carrying out an investigation. He merely observes places and bodies, in a present-day which seems to be drawing the blurred outlines of an eternal limbo. Clearly, Sigg gives a portrait of these protagonists as if they were stepping right off the pages of the Irish writer: a great strength hidden in weariness bordering on drowsiness, a resolve never to assert anything, an involuntary humour, and plenty of room left for the passing of time. No secret is to be disclosed about literature here, except maybe an enigmatic kinship with the hazy image of a vinyl record playing Schubert's Winterreise, one of Beckett's favourites. » (Jean-Pierre Rehm)
