Poésie en mouvement

As part of the Printemps des Poètes, music and drama students join forces in a programme where verse, sounds and emotions intertwine. A celebration of poetry as a space for creation and sharing.

As part of the Printemps des Poètes, a national festival devoted to poetry in all its forms, students from the harp class bring music and poetry into dialogue, accompanied by the voice of a narrator from the drama class.

For the duration of the concert, words and sounds answer one another, extend one another or collide. The harp accompanies the spoken word, wraps around it and opens new spaces for listening, while the voice gives the poems their rhythm, their breath and their movement.

Poets and composers thus come together around a single idea: poetry as a force of creation, emotion and transformation, an invitation to listen differently and to look at the world with fresh eyes.

Poetry will no longer set the rhythm of action; it will be out in front.

Arthur Rimbaud, French poet
