Launched in 2020, Ircam's Musiques-Fictions collection offers a unique literary and sound experience, combining a contemporary text with a musical creation, in an immersive broadcasting system.... Installed under Ircam's 49-speaker ambisonic diffusion dome, reconstituted in the GMEM Module, the listener is invited to a listening experience in which the imagination is stimulated by a sound environment with extensive expressive possibilities, enabling the reproduction of a
listening situation close to that of the real world, from the great spectacular stage to the most minute details of intimate discourse.

This Music-Fiction entitled "Believing in wild beasts" tells the story of how, in 2015, while on an anthropological mission in the farthest reaches of Siberia, Nasstassja Martin, out alone in the forest, is attacked by a bear that tears off half her face. 

Disfigured, she underwent numerous operations in Russia, then in France. 

The researcher tells the story of her reconstruction, both physical and psychological, but goes beyond the story of this traumatic accident to reflect on the encounter between human and non-human worlds at a time when the planet's ecosystems are collapsing.
