*In process of stocking. 300 copies imited edition* Le perroquet Vert Vert de Nevers is a project by Angélique Buisson based on a poem by Jean-Baptiste Gresset, published in 1734. Presented as an opera, Vert Vert tells the story of a parrot taken in by a convent in Nevers. The parrot is entrusted to a boatman on the Loire to be delivered to nuns in Nantes. During the journey, Vert Vert learns the coarse vocabulary of the boatmen. When he arrives at his destination, the parrot swears like a sailor. The nuns, appalled, send him back to Nevers where they have great difficulty in teaching him Latin again. Vert Vert ends his days surrounded by so much care that he dies of indigestion.
