Poetry reading in Japanese

This video is a poetry reading of 谷川俊太郎(たにかわしゅんたろう, my favorite Japanese poet) performed by 佐藤浩市(さとうこういち)

The poem contains many "short form + と + いうこと" phrases. と is a quote maker. いうこと is a "short form plus noun" format.
For example, 生きているということ means the fact I am alive.
