Les Cris poétiques: an open stage for contemporary poetry

Since May 2005, in close collaboration with Jean de Breyne, poet and founder of the contemporary art and literature review “Galerie l’Ollave“, Les Cris poétiques give voice to poets who read texts (often their own) on stage.

Les Cris poétiques invite contemporary poets, speaking both in writing and orally, at the crossroads of the arts: poetic and scenic writing, performance, video, sound experimentation and object poetry. They carry a poetry that, without renouncing the timeless, is grounded in its time, written and spoken every day language.

Florence Pazzottu, a poet living in Marseille, joined Les Cris poétiques in 2015. This renewed collaboration projects the event into new ambitions, such as the creation of residencies of authors.

A partnership with the public library of Apt médiathèque La Halle aux Grains aims to the constitution of a unique contemporary poetry fund in Pays d’Apt-Luberon.
