La POUbeLLE 

MaGNiFiQUE

La Poubelle Magnifique est une poubelle cosmique, un abreuvoir interdimensionnel et une halte pour les âmes perdues et profondes. C’est un lieu où l’absurdité existentielle reprend son souffle et se mêle à l’ici et maintenant — un espace où les notes égarées et les intrigues oubliées se rassemblent pour devenir le rêve des rêveurs.

La Poubelle Magnifique is a cosmic dustbin, an inter-dimensional watering hole and a rest stop for the lost and profound.  It is a place for the existentially absurd to catch its breath and mingle with the here and now, a place for lost notes and forgotten plots to gather and become the dreamers dream.
