Add to basketAdonis in the Pyrenees: another "conversation in the mountains" where a multiplicity of orients and occidents intermingle, where dialogue between Adonis, the major Arab-language poet at work today, and Pierre Joris, nomad poet between the United States, Europe, and North Africa, becomes polylogue, exchanging reflections that range from the destructive role all monotheisms play in history -- in relation to woman, but also to the power structures throughout cultures -- to questions of poetics and the possible role of the spiritual in contemporary poethics. These conversations -- under the general title "Religion is an answer, poetry a question" -- took place in June in the small village of Germ-Louron in the French Pyrenees in the context of "Les Porteurs de Mots /The Word-Carriers," an annual cultural festival organized by Franck Morinière. These conversations were framed by a range of events, musical & theatrical performances, poetry readings and talks.
Adonis dans les Pyrénées: autre "conversation dans les montagnes" où une multiplicité d'orients et d'occidents s'entremêlent, où un dialogue entre Adonis, le plus important poète de langage arabe au travail aujourd'hui, et Pierre Joris, poète nomade entre l'Europe, les Etats-Unis et le Maghreb, devient polylogue, échange de réflexions allons du rôle destructeur que jouent tous les monothéismes dans l'histoire -- par rapport à la femme, mais aussi aux structures de pouvoir de toutes les cultures -- à des questions de poétiques et du rôle possible d'une spiritualité dans la poéthique contemporaine. Ces conversations -- sous le titre de "La religion est une réponse, la poésie une question" -- eurent lieu en juin 2017 dans le petit village de Germ-Louron dans le Pyrénées dans le contexte d'un festival culturel annuel, "Les Porteurs de Mots," organisé par Franck Morinière. Conversations encadrées par un essaim d'évènements: performances musicales et théâtrales, lectures de poésie, et exposés.
