LOUISE ACKERMANN
« Orgueil et effacement »
PERFORMER: ISABELLE MENTRÉ
DIRECTOR: CHRISTOPHE DAVID
Louise Ackermann did not pass into posterity. And yet, stunned praise from Barbey d'Aurevilly and Léon Bloy, who were hardly impressionable critics, should have sparked the interest of generations to come. An atheist poet affiliated with positivism, the radicalism of her verses certainly suffered from the passage of time, but it is for her short autobiography that we wished to present her to the public. Indeed, this narrative, unlike any other, introduces us to a woman of fascinating complexity. And above all, a great writer whose mastery of style, reminiscent of Flaubert's Un cœur simple, holds emotion at a distance and paradoxically offers us a deeply moving work.
Museum doors will open at 18:30.
