Literature invites itself, savours
itself, reinvents itself and is shared in the garden of the Maison Losseau,
this splendid art nouveau residence of a personality who loved great
literature.
On
April 23 – May 25, 2015, Belgian author-illustrator
Kitty Crowther (won the world’s most prestigious prize for
children’s literature: the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award) invite us to
enter a lounge which opens out onto the garden
through a little, very little door where we can dive in the wonderful world of
the slag heap. An imaginary scenery in real size, drawn from the floor to the
ceiling. Little creatures, crazy trees, unbelievable worlds. By entering
Kitty’s box, we all take the risk to fall back to childhood, to leave the world
for a little while in order to better tame it afterwards and especially to
better feel it, because after all, what’s the use of drawing a fish if we
can’t imagine what it feels like to swim against the tide?
As dusk falls, the
Guinguette lights up and the music gently cradles the words that have been
waltzing all day long. Musicians join forces with the poets, and over six
evenings invite us to dance and dream.
