Littérature dans la ville
Literary conversations, readings, performances, literary DJ sets, discovery scenes: literature is curious, it dreams, it thinks, it is as diverse as the languages in which it is written.
Discover today's literature in all languages: for a week, from May 21 to 27, writers from around the world talk to us about the questions that drive them and the books they are writing on the occasion of Lyon international literature festival hosted by Villa Gillet, Littérature Live.
From fiction to philosophy, from extreme contemporary to music, poetry and performance, Villa Gillet invites you to enter literature with curiosity.
Since 2021, Villa Gillet and the MICG have displayed quotes from contemporary authors in public spaces. This year, the words “Bodies forget less quickly than hearts. », extracts from Lisette Lombé, Eunice, Seuil, 2023 will be displayed in creations by the duo Traduttore, traditore, keep your eyes peeled!
“This poster is a collage composition. The elements constituting the image come from different iconographic sources, the composition of the text is also multi-type. The collage tells of multiplicity of course, but also something of solidarity and fragility. The pieces of adhesive, like band-aids, repair and reassemble.
The character that is constructed is plural, defined by its history, embodied through the objects that form a body: sometimes disposable, rejects or diamonds, all at the same level become members, the monetary value is put aside, the scales of value are erased.
He is moving forward, it seems, towards a brighter future, a horizon where the rainbow bears witness to past rains. The hours are ticking, time is forgotten. »
