Les Larmes de Madeleine gives life back to the two sculptures present in the two chapels of the Eglise de la Madeleine in Paris. The Christ and the Virgin Mary cried ; but also smiled, bliked, moved and spoke. They lived. As the visitor walks in the church, a sculpture starts talking to him. Lips are moving, tongues are loosening, the Christ and the Virgin start talking to him. Their speech, carried by a sound beam, comes to him only when he stands in front of them.
