Poésie en gestes

The plateau becomes a space of experimentation where the body tells, suggests and brings out the imaginary. This evening invites you to discover a collective work in creation, where the gesture becomes word and silence, theatrical matter.

In partnership with the Bibliothèque Louise Walser-Gaillard, the Conservatoire Nadia and Lili Boulanger offers an artistic encounter around deaf culture, sign language, mime and movement.

From a selection of poems, students will explore different ways of bringing poetry to life: through voice, mime, movement and French Sign Language (LSF).

Interpreter in LSF, Périne Paniccia will accompany students in this process and will intervene with them to raise their awareness of the specificities of the LSF and the re-creation of texts in sign language.

Because poetry is not literally translated into LSF: it is recreated in space, through gesture, gaze, rhythm and movement. A real visual writing that offers another way to make the words resonate.
