The Al Berto’s text Le Navigateur du Soleil Incandescent, hinges on two emotional dimensions: a melancholic, very lyrical, in which Al Berto portrays the love, the longing for love, the fantasy of missing; and another, in which Al Berto portrays loneliness: the loneliness in Al Berto is the loneliness of terror, the state of revolt and despair. In this scope appears his most autobiographical writing.

From the original text, I worked with the poet a sequence of fragments, that cronologically articulated regarding the initial text, shape the plot of the cycle in which this work is included: Le navigateur du Soleil incandescent/ Quatrième lettre for chamber group and electronic sounds. This results in a sequence of monologues, in which the character, the Navigator, surrenders to despair/ sadness of the absence of a love that saves him from his lonely fate.
