Family fiction

A writing workshop with 2 authors, Aline César and Damien Dutrait.

During this workshop, Aline César and Damien Dutrait will guide a writing journey that is partly solitary and partly collective, so that multiple stories can resonate with one another. Working on family narrative calls for a form of introspection and a search for truth. Yet writing remains an act of fiction, a subjectivity offered to the gaze of others. Starting from a concrete element (photo, letter, object, archival sound or image), participants rewrite a section of their family mythology. All the texts will culminate in a public performance.
